1850rif. 68036Northumberland NY and Tuolumne County CA. 1850–1857. New Yorker in the "Land of Gold" A scattered but intriguing collection of manuscripts related to New York native Isaac Vanderwerker or Vanderwarker who made for the California gold mines in 1850 and remained out west until at least 1857. This group consists primarily of letters written to Isaac by his brother at home in Northumberland inquiring after Isaac's activities in the gold fields and commenting on matters at home though it also contains a detailed letter from Isaac himself a letter from his ill-fated sister Joann and two letters written by business partners in California. The earliest letter here written by Isaac's brother who signs only with initials is dated October 7 1850 shortly after Isaac arrived in California. Isaac was apparently one of many gold-seekers who elected to take a slow sailing ship from Panama rather than wait on the heavily delayed steamships though he weathered the journey better than most. Isaac's brother also notes several acquaintances who "have returned without making their fortune" and still more who are leaving regularly for the mines including a "Justus" who "made a vendue and sold his personal property" in order to fund the journey. Everyone in town it seems either wants to head to California or has an excuse not to. "I hope you will be one of the lucky ones and get well paid for all your toil sufferings and anxieties" he writes to his brother. "We have most of the California news every month. I saw in the last paper an account of the riot and burning of Sacramento City it spoke of some large lumps of gold being taken out weighing from one to forty pounds at Carsons new diggings on the Stanislaw another instance where a man took out four thousand dollars in two days at Murphy diggings but these cases are something extra John L. Cramer is at the Northern Mines on the Yuba…." The Vanderwerkers were early settlers of upstate New York and appear to have done well for themselves – Isaac and his brother are involved in several substantial properties and much of their correspondence relates to the management of their farms. The next letter in the group comes from the following summer written by Isaac's sister Joann. Joann discusses more details of the family's properties and notes that her health is poor enough that she is not sure to see the end of the week. Regardless news of California remains at front of mind: "There is a story in circulation that Aron Bliss Jaines Brother in law has stoll 15 thousand dollars at San Francisco and the owner has followed him here and there a going to take him back and hang him. John Cramer is on the yube never his Father said he guest by his writing he was not doing very well." From here we skip two years to October 16 1853 when Isaac's brother writes to tell him that large numbers are still heading for California. Joann has been holding on the last two years and "Old Frank" who used to work with them before moving to Canada would like to know if Isaac has work for him in California. He also goes on to discuss a bit of contentious New York politics: "We shall have five state tickets this fall viz whig Barnburner or soft hunker Adamantine or hard Temperance & abolition. The whigs no dout will carry the Election. The Barnburners had quite a majority in the State Convention….the Canal board are Barnburners & they are making a clean sweep of the hunkers." The letters continue over the next few years regarding more transcontinental legal matters real estate dealings Joann's eventual death in 1855 and the usual litany of deaths and marriages at home. The most content rich letter in the group is the only one written by Isaac himself sent to New York from Tuolumne County on May 18 1857. As Isaac describes his life in the west he also reveals himself to be a talented writer: "Dear Brother I will again endeavour to correspond with you by a few rude caught characters on paper which may put you in mind that you have a Brother Still in the land of gold…." He sends some gold home not present describes a chance meeting with the aforementioned John Cramer remarks on the high cost of goods in the mines and recent fires in San Francisco and Stockton. Business isn't cheap in the "land of gold" and he claims he "can do as much business in the States for 10 Dollars as I can Here for one Hundred." With that in mind he adds a postscript stating that he has sold out his plot and mining apparatus for $1500 and will try to go into business burning lime or supplying bricks and lumber in Benicia. He describes the new town and the rapid pace of development in California: "Benicia is situated about thirty miles up the Bay from San Francisco and about Six miles from the present Capital of the state named Vallejo. About three months ago the first building was erected which is a Hotel about two weeks ago they commenced building there is now about twenty small houses up and one three story Hotel. The government officers reside at Vallejo after the 10 of this month. I had an introduction to the governor at Vallejo last week he is a clever sort of man but not Dignified hardly fit for the Station…." Isaac's brother responds to this letter a few months later curious about his sibling's new business ventures. He also comments that "by what I can learn of the character of the Mexicans and Indians I should hate to travel alone without being well armed. I see by our papers that Lynch Law is that that governs all the mines I saw an account of a man being hung at San Francisco by Mr. Lynch at short notice." Unsurprisingly more and more are returning home by 1857 including a man named Wells " come in the same steamer your letter did he was sick but made out to keep up till he got home and died less than a week after he was not very successful in California." A heartfelt letter from a friend about the health of Isaac's mother also present seems to have convinced him and Isaac returned home for a visit to New York in the latter part of 1857. A September 3rd letter from his business partner John W. Kelly sent from Sawmill Flatt is addressed to Isaac in Saratoga and discusses business dealings in California. It would appear Isaac never pulled completely out of mining as the letter regards efforts to secure mortgage payments for Isaac's "ditch." The final letter in this collection is dated December 17 1857 and is addressed to Isaac from the offices of A.C. Goodrich in Columbia California. Goodrich describes a large flume his company has built 180 miles long and twelve feet wide by three feet deep "exclusive of the artificial embankment or five hundred ton stream capacity this day and night as we have reservoirs in abundance to hold the night & Sunday water. Would give 1000 ton streams which sold at the precent price viz $4.00 per day would pay ten per cent on a Capital of $1000.000. This would give a large basis for waste and reduction in price and still leave room for handsome profits on our Capital stock of $450000. The present cost of the work we can only approximate to but it is not far from 100000$." They hope that Isaac can become their agent and help them find investors. An interesting group of letters sent between brothers in California and New York during the Gold Rush stretching across seven long years of separation. Old folds occasional light tanning and staining. Very good. unknown
