J. Goldsborough Bruff manuscript history of Sonora and Alta California
Manuscripts
An apparently unpublished history of the states of California and Sonora, found among the papers of J. Goldsborough Bruff, the noted artist of the Gold Rush, though it may or may not be in his hand. A densely-written and substantial contemporary history of California during a transitional time for the region, containing accounts of gold in Sonora, the types of stories that helped spark the great California Gold Rush just a few years later. The manuscript begins with the "discovery of the Gulf of Cal" and contains much about the early discovery and exploration of California and Sonora. There is also a detailed account of gold mining in Sonora. The manuscript concludes with the Mexican-American War.
