AN EXCURSION TO CALIFORNIA OVER the PRAIRIE, ROCKY MOUNTAINS, and GREAT SIERRA NEVADA, with a Stroll through the Diggings and Ranches of that Country. By William Kelly, J.P.
"Two pleasant, rattling, truth-like volumes, by an Irish J.P., who appears to possess in perfection the fun, frolic, shrewdness, and adaptability to circumstances so remarkable among the better specimens of his countrymen.... The second volume is entirely devoted to the best description of California and its 'diggings,' its physical features, its agriculture, and the social condition of its motley population, which we have yet seen."—Morning Advertiser.
