Description
Hill's letters recount the Mt. Pleasant Mining Company (from Iowa) moving across country to California in 1849, and life in the mining camps. He described economic information, labor conditions, commodity prices, early exhaustion of the placer mines, and transition to quartz mining. After three years, he returned to Iowa without wealth.
