Butler King. v. 2, p. 199-247.  aBayard Taylor (1825-1878) was already a well-established writer when he traveled to California as special correspondent for the New York Tribune in the summer of 1849. On his return to New York, Taylor established himself not only as one of America's great travel writers but as a true man of letters, producing distinguished novels and poems as well as nonfiction for the next quarter century. Eldorado (1850) consists of Taylor's rewritten dispatches to his paper. Volume 2 tells of the 1849 elections, horseback tours of the Sierras, gold camps on the Mokelumne River, analysis of the 1849 overland emigration, San Francisco social and cultural life, and a return to the East with stops in Guadalajara, Mazatlàn, Mexico City, Popcateptel, and Vera Cruz. Thomas Butler King's official report on California, 22 March 1850, is printed as an appendix.  aAlso available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.  aNo known restriction on publication. 0aCaliforniaxGold discoveries. 0aCaliforniaxDescription and travel. 0aVoyages to the Pacific coast. 0aMexicoxDescription and travel. 0aEthnic groupszCalifornia.1 aKing, T.
