Hi B. Keller, I have a little book that I love "SEA ROUTES TO THE GOLD FIELDS, by Oscar Lewis". I got it from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/ some years ago. I just checked, they still have copies of this great little 250 page paper back book, available. There are several stories in this book about the ship "EDWARD EVERETT" and "THE BOSTON AND CALIFORNIA MINING AND TRADING JOINT STOCK COMPANY". I did not find your title... The accounts, in this little book, of this trip you mention are VERY interesting.... describing the trip as well as the planning for it... Might be just what you want.... I looked on Alibris Books site http://www.alibris.com/ for the book you specifically mention ("edited by Carroll D. Hall in 1933") and found there are sever books co-written by Oscar Lewis (author of my book) and Carroll D. Hall, the editor you mention - I found this link interesting... I did not find the book you mention the title of listed here.. I also searched for your CARROLL D. HALL on Google http://www.google.com/ and got lots of hits. I did not check them all out - but you should... you might find some way to contact this person, if your are lucky. AND a fun one..!!! - http://www.pt5dome.com/NYWTrib01171849.htm Scroll down to find A PICTURE OF your ship. The EDWARD EVERETT. >>AND..... THE PASSENGER LIST OF THIS TRIP..!!! Hope this helps you a little bit...
