- Lot Description
[CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH]. Autograph document signed, for a saloon license at ?Yankee Jims Dry Diggings?, Auburn, California, 5 July 1851. Oblong 12mo (146 x 197 mm), old fold, some spotting. Yankee Jim, real name Jim Robinson, set up a camp in the Foresthill Divide in 1849 called ?Yankee Jims Dry Diggings? in search of gold. Jim?s endeavor of striking it rich was unsuccessful and he would later turn to horse stealing, which eventually caught up with him. Jim was hanged in San Diego on 18 September 1852 with the intent to steal a schooner worth $6,500. Gold would shortly be found in the Foresthill Divide after Jim?s departure of the camp- an estimated $25m total output.
