Life on the plains and among the diggings; being scenes and adventures of an overland journey to California: with particular incidents of the route, mistakes and sufferings of the emigrants, the Indian tribes, the present and future of the great West . nneces-sary exposure, and the vices now too prevalent, a man maymaintam better health than in the older States on the Atlantic. In conclusion, I beg leave to say, that there are many sub-jects of which it would have given me pleasure to speak; par-ticularly of the geological structure of the country, and of thestatistical facts with regard to its mmes, and its agiiculturalproductions; but the nature of this work, and its alreadylengthened proportions forbid. The most that I can hope for,is, that the reader may find amusement, and understand Someof the trials encountered by the early emigrants to California,especially by the miners, whom I know to be an honorable andintelligent class of people.
