Excerpt from The Autobiography and Memorials of Captain Obadiah Congar: For Fifty Years Mariner and Shipmaster From the Port of New York To the mass of general readers, and to earnest minds especially, writings in the shape of self-memorial and autobiography are always attractive. Whether they be purely religious, like the Confessions of Augustine, or the Grace Abounding of the Immortal Dreamer, or the Experiences of Madame Guyon and of Cowper; or whether they be semi-religious, literary, and economical, like the Life of Franklin, by himself, the Confessions of Rousseau, the Autobiographies of Goethe and Leigh Hunt, or the Confidences of Lamartine, all men love to read them. Personal reminiscences, perhaps it may be added, even egotism, we are generally eager to peruse when written, although we detest and can not bear them when spoken.

Daniel B. Woods of Philadelphia sailed to California in February 1849, crossing Mexico to San Blas, and arriving in San Francisco in June. Sixteen months at the gold diggings (1851) recounts those travels as well as his experiences as a prospector in the Northern Mines on the American River and at Hart's Bar and other camps in the Southern Mines before starting home in November, 1850. His book offers an exceptionally realistic picture of the drudgery of mining and the business side of miners' companies.
