Autograph manuscript titled, From Boston to San Francisco, around Cape Horn
Manuscripts
This document records the ocean journey of the barque, Golden Fleece, which left Boston, MA, for San Francisco, CA, on January 27, 1864. The author, identified by the initials W.A.H. at the end of the text on the fourth page, records the ship's journey around Cape Horn and various events which transpired onboard. The author describes the city of San Francisco upon their arrival on May 3rd and notes "the sad news of the assassination of President Lincoln." This statement may indicate that manuscript is inaccurately dated, as Lincoln died in 1865, and the manuscript may in fact be a reminiscence rather than a contemporary account
