A fine copy with pictorial dust jacket (top edge of jacket slightly chipped). Dr. M'Collum arrived in San Francisco on the Niantic in July of 1849. He traveled to Stockton and the Southern Mines but found that mining for gold was too strenuous. He went back to San Francisco and survived by practicing his profession. He then journeyed to Sacramento and the Northern Mines and again tried mining. Soon thereafter, he headed home via the Isthmus of Panama in early 1850. [Kurutz: 417-b].
