On reaching that state, the Bateses undertook hotelkeeping in Marysville, 1851-1854. Incidents on land and water (1857) contains Mrs. Bates's hair-raising account of her voyage to California, when fires forced the scuttling of three ships on which the Bateses sailed. Mrs. Bates recounts hardships of the mining town, with special attention to the life of women and children in the camps, and gives details of a tour of the Sacramento Valley.  aAlso available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.  aNo known restrictions on publication. 0aCaliforniaxDescription and travel. 0aCaliforniaxGold discoveries. 0aVoyages to the Pacific coast. 0aEthnic groupszCalifornia. 0aUrbanizationzCalifornia. 0aReal estate developmentzCalifornia. 0aBusinesszCalifornia.41dcalbkf065qtuhttp://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gdc/calbk.065  c51990d51990
