Description
Georgetown: Talisman Press, 1964 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition. Limited to 1,000 copies. Quarto. 285pp. 16 plates from early photographs and prints, numerous text illustrations; notes and references, index. Cloth-backed pictorial boards. A very fine copy with lightly chipped pictorial dust jacket. The material in this very interesting work is derived from the rare files of the San Francisco Picayune, probably the 'enfant terrible' of the early San Francisco newspapers. "This handsome volume reproduces the text of one of San Francisco's most important Gold Rush era newspapers beginning with August 5, 1850, and ending with April 17, 1852 ... This newspaper superbly documented not only the phenomenal growth of San Francisco but also news from the mines" (Kurutz). [Kurutz: 361]..
