1832ref. 2902New York: Jonathan Leavitt printed by G. P. Scott and Co 1832. Good. 8vo in 4's. 4 9-40 pp. Bound in sympathetic wrappers evidence of stab-stitching. Foxing and browning throughout as is true in all copies. An interesting sermon preached in the midst of the 1832 cholera epidemic in New York complete with the characteristic "fire and brimestone" judgments on the sins of the people. Cholera reached the Western Hemisphere during the second pandemic 1829-1851. Many contemporary journalistic sources associated the disease with "large numbers of Irish and other emigrants" a "class of persons particularly exposed and carrying the disease wherever they go." This particular sermon preached upon Isaiah 26:9 "When thy judgments are in the earth the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness" lays the blame not on recent emigrants but rather on a wicked and atheistic generation who no longer fear God and has forgotten Him. "Most were thought to have willfully weakened their bodies through unwholesome ways of life and were now being punished for their sins. According to religious leaders the three prominent abominations of the time were sabbath-breaking intemperance and debauchery and cholera was viewed as here as a disease of "'mental and corporeal debility.'" The preacher Gardiner Spring 1785-1873 was an American minister of the Brick Presbyterian Church from his ordination in 1809 until his death as well as prolific religiou author. He is perhaps most famous for his Gardiner Spring Resolutions which effectively precipitated the creation of the Presbyterian Church of the Confederate States of America and the schism of the Presbyterian Church along regional lines which lasted from the American Civil War until 1983.

1832ref. 38696Boston: Leonard C. Bowles 1832. First edition. Stitched paper wrappers. Very good few tears along the edges and spine ends scattered foxing. 13 pp. 8vo. Cover title: Mr. Greenwood's fast discourse. American awaited the 1832 Cholera outbreak as reports from Europe arrived. Unlike many others Greenwood did not see the epidemic as a cleansing purge by God to punish the wicked. "Let us then confess our faults one to another and let us pray one for another. Let us confess our faults to God and pray for ourselves. If our prayers are fervent and righteous; if they awaken us to the evil and danger of sin; if they make us humble and unassuming; if they inspire us with a cheerful courage united with a rational prudence we may be confident that they will avail much. They have availed much. They have prepared us in the best possible manner against the hovering pestilence; they have saved us from sin which is more dreadful than pestilence. God has heard them; and he will answer them if not by temporal immunity yet by the answer of eternal salvation." Francis William Pitt Greenwood 1797-1843 was a Unitarian minister of King's Chapel in Boston. His written works were published in the Christian Examiner as well as the Boston Journal of Natural History The Token and Atlantic Souvenir.

1850ref. BK0017Sacramento City California 1850. Autograph letter signed "Sam'l Locke" to his wife in Belfast Maine. 6 pp. Stampless folded letter with clear circular "SACRAMENTO CITY / CAL." postmark and "40" rate handstamp; manuscript notation recording receipt in Maine on December 19 1850. Light soiling; very good. A bleak California Gold Rush letter written during the 1850 Sacramento cholera epidemic by Samuel Locke a Maine emigrant suffering from prolonged fever and unable to regain his strength. Surrounded by sickness failed mining ventures violent crime and men too poor or ill to return home Locke plans to seek recovery in the Sandwich Islands while relying upon his religious faith for consolation. Locke had been ill since August and was now so weak that ordinary work exhausted him: "My limbs or legs are very weak short breath and no appetite at all. I have no desire to eat anything not one thing I can think of. I have no strength to go into any business or to do any. I do a few little chores round or about the store occasionally but to sweep the store it beats me all out . O how I long to get out of this place. Can't get any strength don't know as I can anywhere but I long to try." Friends advised him to spend the winter in the Sandwich Islands. He expected to travel first to San Francisco and then make the fifteen- to twenty-day passage to Hawaii though he feared that continued illness might leave him unable either to support himself there or return to Maine. He states that he will "trust in providence yes trust in God who I feel is my only refuge". Locke gives a grim account of California's climate and the spread of cholera through Sacramento claiming that the climate in California prevented the sick from recovering their strength as the "air is very light & bad middle of the day very hot and nights very cool." The previous week's report had stated forty dead but "nothing near all the cases were reported" with Locke himself knowing of several unreported cases personally. A local blacksmith died overnight after his companions borrowed Locke's syringe and "We can hardly see a healthy looking individual in the streets." The letter also records the uncertain fortunes of men from Locke's home region scattered through the mines. William Beckett and his partners had spent the summer constructing a mining dam had struck gold on the first day and then immediately "the dam was washed away so they lost all their summer's labor." Other acquaintances had moved to Kelsey's Bar the southern mines or Oregon or were preparing to return east by way of Panama. Some remained convinced that California would reward perseverance while others had "seen enough" after accomplishing nothing. Locke regarded success as largely accidental: "Thousands are here and in the mines who want to get home and cannot-not able to do seamen's duty and no money to pay but they have got to stay in the mines and do the best they can. Some it is true have been lucky. It is all luck. If they happen to hit a good place they do well." News that cholera had entered the mining districts increased his alarm. Locke feared especially for men living in tents as the rainy season approached with poor food and little protection from exposure. Sacramento itself was marked by nightly violence: "There are murders or robberies about every night. One man killed in front of our house a few nights ago. We heard him holler and heard the blows. Next morning he died. His head was dreadfully mangled." Locke closes with an emotional message to his wife and children. His health finances and prospects all appeared uncertain and he repeatedly asked his family and church to pray for him: "Tell the dear Children to be good and if they never see me again when I am gone they will have the satisfaction . of knowing they acted as thy Father requested . Pray for me ask the Church to pray for me indeed I know I have your prayers and you have mine often." A particularly bleak account of the human cost of the California Gold Rush documenting epidemic disease physical collapse failed mining schemes violent crime religious faith and the predicament of emigrants unable to escape California after their health and resources were exhausted. . unknown
