http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45031842

Family correspondence, 1852 and undated. Included here is a letter by Lyman to his brother, Richard in Sacramento Valley (Calif.), dated Oct. 20 and Nov. 2-3, 1852, describing gold mining, killing Indians, bringing back an Indian scalp, plenty of wild game, and the destruction of Sacramento by fire. A second, undated letter to Lyman is from William and George Potter, which encourages people to come to Calif., and notes that whites are killing "diggers" (what local Indians were derogatively called by whites) by the hundred. A brief abstract of the letters (1 p., copy) is also included.
