| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Six Months in the Gold Mines" by E. Gould Buffum is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and adventures during his time as a gold digger in California, detailing the transformative impact of the gold rush on the region and its inhabitants. As a lieutenant in the New York Volunteers, Buffum offers a first-hand perspective of the excitement, challenges, and realities faced by many during the gold rush era. The opening of the book sets the stage for Buffum's journey to California, beginning with the embarkation from New York in September 1846 and detailing life in San Francisco upon his arrival. He reflects on the early days of California under American military rule, a place teeming with potential yet still in its infancy. The introduction provides insights into the desperation and eagerness of those drawn by the promise of gold, along with personal anecdotes that highlight the camaraderie and struggles of fellow miners. Buffum's narrative hints at the vast landscapes he will explore and the trials he will face, creating an engaging premise for his forthcoming adventures in the mines.

| Summary, etc. | Edward Gould Buffum (1820-1867), a New York journalist, came to California as an officer in the 7th Regiment of N.Y. Volunteers during the Mexican War. He stayed on to seek gold and edit a California newspaper before returning east to become Paris correspondent of the New York Herald. Six months in the gold mines (1850) is Buffum's vivid account of his regiment's voyage west in 1846 to help secure California for the United States. He describes his discharge from the army in Monterey and his subsequent adventures as a gold seeker, sailing up the Sacramento to reach the Sierra Nevadas above Sutter's Fort. He describes prospecting along the Bear and Yuba Rivers, Weber Creek, and Middle and South Forks of the American River, Foster's Bar, and Weaver's Creek, 1848-1849. He concludes with the story of his work for Alta California in San Francisco and the growth of San Francisco. |
