A rare account of gold prospecting in California, by a Canadian miner and local magistrate. Shaw went to California in 1851, prospected in the Yuba district, and stayed for five years. He provides vivid details about mining, immigrant groups, individuals, etc., with several interesting sections on the state of the southern districts, including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. ".This little book has much to commend it. After descriptions of the people, the mines and 'the face of the country,' Shaw tells some good yarns about the mines and miners of the Sierra foothills" - Wheat. "Shaw, through this detailed volume, attempted to convey to the reader a true sense of what to expect in California. He included a fine account of the varied types of people found, with emphasis on the Chinese. He also added an elaborate depiction of mining methods and a general portrait of all the California counties, missions, and agricultural resources" - Kurutz.
