"Benjamin received a common-school
education and helped on his father's farm until he set
out for California in 1850. He left New York April 30, by
the steamer Georgia to Havana, thence by the steamer
Falcon to Chagres, then by boat to Gorgona, and from that
point overland to Panama, whence he came by a sailing
vessel to San Francisco, arriving on the 6th of August,
1850." Drawn by Benjamin Watrous in his later years. |
