A Reprint of the Original Edition with Reproductions of Numerous Photographs Taken by Louis Palenske and Foreword and Epilogue by Rufus Rockwell Wilson. New York: Wilson-Erickson, Inc., 1936. First edition thus. Alonzo Delano, a native of Auburn, New York, resided in Ottawa, Illinois, at the time of the gold discovery. He left on April 5, 1849, with a company of fifty men, crossed the Missouri River at St. Joseph, and entered California via the Lassen Trail. He then made it to the Feather River on September 9 with $4 in his pocket. While providing what has become one of the great classics of the Overland Trail, Delano also wrote in detail about his adventures in the mines and the general conditions of newly arrived emigrants, miners, and Indians. During these first years in California, he spent much time in Sacramento, the mines of the Yuba River (making $600 in only two weeks), Marysville, the Gold Lake country, Nelson's Creek, and finally San Francisco.
