Description
Excerpt from The Diary of a Pioneer and Other Papers: Being the Diary Kept by Niles Searls on His Journey From Independence, Missouri, to California, Between May 9th and October 1st, 1849, Also Brief Autobiography Written by Judge Searls in the Year 1900
The following diary and autobiography were taken from the papers of Niles Searls and were often discussed with me during his lifetime, so I know them to be authentic. In addi'' tion, there has been added a little compilation of excerpts from letters written by his wife, Mary Corinthia Searls, during her voyage as a bride to California, and from Nevada City, the little mining town where she settled with her husband, which revealed something of her brave, sweet character and woman''s impressions of early California.
Due acknowledgment and appreciation is due to May Searls Heuer for copying the almost illegible original script of the diary with painstaking care, and to Carroll Searls and Cornelia Niles Gilmore for compiling the letters of Mary Corinthia Searls.
