Hello! We are preparing a manuscript regarding the "goldrush" banking house of "Page, Bacon and Company" (who operated circa 1849-1855 in St. Louis, San Francisco, Sacramento, Sonoma, New York, London, etc.). We would appreciate any about any information folks might have about this interesting organization, including, but not limited to: 1. Anecdotal stories; 2. Genealogies for Senior Proprietor Daniel Dearborn Page (b. 5 Mar 1790; d. 1865); 3. Background/Genealogy for Henry Douglas Bacon; 4. Info. concerning S. F. bank operatives Henry Haight and Judge David Chambers; 5. Printed accounts of the bank's failure circa February, 1855; 6. Involvement of lawyer Abraham Lincoln in "Page, Bacon...." litigation (ca.1856); 7. Existing collections of "Page, Bacon..." ephemera (eg: Bank Drafts, etc.). Please contact us directly if we can provide you with more details. We anticipate publishing and posting our preliminary manuscript early next year. Thank you, in advance, for your kind assistance David Winslow Page [email protected] (757) 259-5934 fax
