A report from one H.J. Wilkinson to a friend reporting his successes and failures at Emigrant Gap in Placer County on September 21, 1887. The handwriting is clear and relatively easy to read. It's a nice slice of life for a miner having to deal with expenses like the cost of ammunition and such. Please see photos for more details. Emigrant Gap Placer County California
