In 1860 Borthwick returned to Britain, where his paintings were exhibited in several galleries including the Royal Academy. Three years in California (1857) focuses on his experiences mining gold and quartz at Hangtown, Foster's Bar, Downieville, Mississippi Bar, Jacksonville, and Carson's Hill. He devotes much attention to social life in the camps as well as mining techniques, describing crime, the Chinese and French and other ethnic groups, and holidays and public entertainments. Borthwick illustrated the book with eight of his own lithographs which are considered the most realistic of the period for California.  pOriginally published:cEdinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons, 1857  aCalifornia -- Social life and customs  aCalifornia -- Gold discoveries  aLaw -- Political aspects -- California  aEthnic groups -- California40uhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/76244  c116969d116969
