I just received the newest issue of CALIFORNIA HISTORY (Spring 1998), published by the California Historical Society. The subtitle is NATIONAL GOLD RUSH SYMPOSIUM, and it features the speaches delivered by J.S. Holliday, Malcolm H. Rohrbough, Patricia Nelson Limerick, Richard White and Kevin Starr at the Oakland Museum of California on January 24 and 25, 1998, when the Gold Rush exhibits were opened there. I pasted over the following information from the California Historical Society web site (http://www.calhist.org/), in case you cannot get there and are interested in buying a copy. It really is a great issue and has some wonderful pictures, including six "mug shots" of: Clement Antonovich, S. G. Hall, Ellen Skinner, Mathew Gillan, Bernard O'Neill, and Ah Coon, as well as other (lots of them unidentified) pictures, including one of Hubert Howe Bancroft, and Ishi, as well as an "1849 daguerreotype, showing a hodge-podge of recently errected housing, including canvas tents, [which] looks east from today's downtown San Francisco toward a waterfront clogged with abandoned vessels," which is California Historical Society, file #FN-1311.
