Sailing round the Horn, he visited Rio de Janeiro and Talcahuana before landing in San Francisco. After a brief career as a gold miner at the Calaveras diggings, Upham moved to Sacramento, where he published the Sacramento Transcript, May-August 1850. Notes of a voyage to California (1878) includes Upham's memoirs of his early years in California, with special attention to Sacramento's colorful history in 1850. He closes his narrative with a brief description of his return to Philadelphia that same year via Panama. The book's lengthy appendix contains chapters on California journalism, the California exhibition at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, and various reunion dinners and other events sponsored by the California "Pioneers" association.  aAlso available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.  aNo known restrictions on publication. 0aCaliforniaxHistoryy1846-1850. 0aCaliforniaxGold discoveries. 0aVoyages to the Pacific coast.20aAssociated Pioneers of the Territorial Days of California. 0aEthnic groupszCalifornia. 0aLawxPolitical aspectszCalifornia. 0aBusinesszCalifornia.41dcalbkf149qtuhttp://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gdc/calbk.149  c51921d51921
