Item description from seller

Like so many Englishmen of his era, Kelly took a dim view of the civilization in the United States. Nonetheless, his narrative is a rich and detailed account of his journey overland to the gold fields in 1849, and his subsequent account of life in California has been called "lively and interesting." The first volume is devoted to the author's trip from Liverpool to New York and overland to California. WAGNER-CAMP 200:1. COWAN, p.235. MATTES 515. MINTZ 269. ROCQ 15895. FLAKE 4569. GRAFF 2298.
