And An Account Of The Voyage Around Cape Horn.
-Editor's Note to this Reprint- I had great pleasure reprinting and
publishing this historical treasure. Revere's eyewitness to the
Gold Rush while serving in the U.S. Navy is fascinating. The
muscularity of his world view, insight to the racism of the times,
and his prophetic predictions for the Golden State, all combine to
make this a worthwhile project. I thank the Ventura County Library
of Ventura, California for bringing this book to my attention.

BOOKS TO WHICH THE CALIFORNIA EXCITEMENT HAS GIVEN, LIEUTENANT
JAMES W. REVERE's--the Grandson of Paul Revere--book is probably
the most concise and comprehensive, as well as being of a lively
and attractive style abounding in anecdote and graphic scenery. His
official capacity, and the favorable circumstance, of his approach
to the "El Dorado,"together with an apparent accurate understanding
of the matter, make his book exceedingly valuable to those who wish
as it were a personal introduction to men and things in that
remarkable region. --From the 1849 UNITED STATES MAGAZINE and
DEMOCRATIC REVIEW
