Owner's signature to both fixed endpapers, slight remnants to rear end from envelope flap, lower corners slightly jammed, else a fine copy. A valuable source of information for a critical period of California history. Of prime importance as it includes exact dates, information about hundreds of early pioneers, etc. Also includes a complete index of "persons at the Fort." One of the Fifty Books of the Year. Although Kurutz includes this work in his Gold Rush bibliography, he does admit that the diary "provides little information on the discovery and subsequent events." A number of the later entries by Sutter mention increasing numbers of people leaving for the gold mines.
