Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from California, Its Gold and Its Inhabitants, Vol. 1 of 2
This is a great day with our American friends here; every one calls upon every one, so the streets present a scene of ia cessant salutation in spite of mud all the richer families have tables spread from noon till evening, with cakes, pies, jellies, ices, cold chicken, &c.; tea, coffee, liquors, champagne - eternal champagne, till one sickens at the sight of it; and how the men drink!
