Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pioneer Voyage to California and Round the World: 1849 to 1852 Having been, by the decree of fate, the freaks of fortune, the force of circumstances, the destiny of my horoscope, or by some other unseen influence, called or sent, drawn or driven at an advanced age, to wander 'round the globe, and to Spend four years far away from my family, during which time, I have been in a peculiar manner the sport and football of some or all the agencies I have named, - I have now, while on my way home, and daily drawing nearer to my native land, thought to employ some of my leisure hours at sea, in recording some of my experience. I am doing this partly to amuse myself, but chiefly because I be lieve my journal will be interesting to the members of my family, for whose information and amusement I am bound to contribute all in my power, and to the head of which, my well beloved wife, this book is affectionately dedicated, as a feeble token of my estimation of her many virtues. This record is drawn up partly from recollection and partly from notes and memoranda taken en passant, but now when I look back on what has passed, it appears to me to have been a trance, a wonderful dream, a something unreal, a great blank in my existence. I fancy this book will be kept as an heirloom in my family, and I here charge my children never to give away to despond ency under misfortune. Should you be called to encounter dis appointment and losses, remember your Grandfather and your Father; be honest, be firm, be resolute. Hope now, hope always; reflect that all things are under the direction of a Supreme Being, who doeth all things well, and in the darkest hour seek con solation in that reflection.

On hearing the news of gold in California, Manly set off on horseback, joining an emigrant party in Missouri. Death Valley in '49 (1894) contains Manly's account of that overland journey. Setting out too late in the year to risk a northern passage thorugh the Sierras, the group takes the southern route to California, unluckily choosing an untried short cut through the mountains.

Manly's memoirs continue with his trip north to prospecting near the Mariposa mines, a brief trip back east via the Isthmus, and his return to California and another try at prospecting on the North Fork of the Yuba at Downieville in 1851. He provides lively ancedotes of life in mining camps and of his visits to Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco.
