Gold Rush Life

Coloma April 12th 1854

Dear Brother

Yours of Jany [January] 12th came duly to hand but I have been so busy getting in my [craps] fencing [al], that I have allowed a longer time than I should to pass without answering it. I trust that you found your trip to Europe to be one of both pleasure and profit. There is something peculiarly interesting in visiting countries, and viewing objects that have by their associations with past ages and occurrences become subjects of Historical interest, and had I a fortune I should certainly spend a few years in so doing. …

Therefore in inditing this short Epistle to you I feel that shall still remain largely in your debt. I should have certainly written you a long letter by this mail had I not known that the letter to Father & Mother would be read by you and that you would consider it the same as you would were it addressed to you. In one of your letters you …

My Dear Brother William,

I wrote a few lines to Ashley by last mail. I had not then time to go into any details as it was only by a mere chance that I had an opportunity of sending to Sacramento City in time for the mail and I had very little time to write. As I gave him my reasons for maintaining so long a silence I shall say nothing more about that but proceed to give you a sketch …

Yours of the 6^th of May came to hand yesterday and in order that your expectations may not be realized, I hasten to reply to it.

I have not written to you, or any of the family, for more than a year it is true, but you should not conclude from that I had forgotten or ceased to think of you. No. My dear brother that is far from being the case. Many and a nights after a days …

A Short Account Of That Part Of Africa Inhabited By The Negroes, Anthony Benezet, Paul Royster , Ed.

Electronic Texts in American Studies

Anthony Benezet scoured the available English literature of colonial exploitation for evidence of the humanity of the trafficked Africans and the inhumanity of the European traders in human beings. He compiled and published this Short Account in 1762 to present the case for termination of the trans-Atlantic transportation of kidnapped Africans, for abolition of slavery and the slave trade, and for emancipation of the enslaved persons held in bondage in North America and elsewhere. Drawing on Scottish moral philosophy, British Whig ideology, and, most importantly, on New Testament gospel teachings, Benezet presented both reasoned and impassioned appeals for the recognition …

Heightened Uncertainty And Determination: The “Trump Effect” And College Aspirations For Undocumented Students, Carolina Valdivia, Marisol Clark-Ibáñez, Lucas Schacht, Juan Duran, Sussana Mendoza

Journal of College Access

This article examines the educational experiences of undocumented high school students during the Trump administration—a time marked by the intensification and expansion of immigration enforcement practices. Drawing on 24 in-depth interviews, we find that undocumented high school students experienced increased instances of bullying near the time of the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. Our respondents also worried about the growing uncertainty surrounding immigration policies and the future of DACA. This uncertainty shaped their plans; many students felt compelled to prioritize working and delay starting college to make use of their work permit while they had access to DACA and build emergency …
