King was the personal adviser to President Taylor on the statehood situation in California. He arrived in California on June 4, 1849 by way of the Isthmus of Panama (after resigning his seat in Congress). He became Collector of the Port of San Francisco, but left permanently in 1852. A prominent economist and politician, he touched, in his report, on every aspect of California's social and economic potential. King presents facts and figures on the region's climate, soil, agricultural products and population as well as, of course, gold. King discusses mining techniques, and seems to have visited the diggings himself. He also provides information about the various routes to reach California. An "outstanding report" (Wheat). "This report to the government by the Collector of Customs at San Francisco gave Washington its first official information on the gold strike" (Howes). "King reported on the conditions of California and its potential, and gave Washington its first official information on the gold strike . King also recognized the serious plight of the miner: 'Those who purchase and ship gold to the Atlantic States make large profits: but those who dig lose what others make.'. King's text was appended to or translated for inclusion in several Gold Rush publications, including Bayard Taylor's Eldorado and Carl L. Fleischmann's Neueste Officielle Berichte" (Kurutz). [Cowan: p.330; Howes I: K-153; Howes II: K-153; Kurutz: 377b; Rocq: 16970; Wheat, Books of the California Gold Rush: 118]. Book.
