Temporal Coverage | 1855-1858 |
Description | The California Gold Rush prompted the rise of "mining newspapers" like the Sonora Herald and Columbia Gazette, chronicling the region's transition and advocating for reforms. In Tuolumne County, Sonora housed the first Sierra Nevada mining newspaper in 1850, while Columbia saw the Columbia Gazette's emergence in 1852. These publications reflected the tension between American and foreign-born miners. Despite their significance, many of these papers were short-lived, mirroring the transient nature of the mining towns during that era. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1858 of this newspaper. |
