San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists. Vol. III: November 7, 1851 to June 17, 1852 - Hardcover

by Louis J. Rasmussen (Author)

Here is the third volume in Louis Rasmussen's distinguished series dealing with passenger arrivals at the port of San Francisco between 1850 and 1875. In the absence of official port records--which were destroyed by fire in 1940--this ambitious work attempts a reconstruction of passenger arrivals from newspapers and journals.
