We reached Sacramento City September 7.
There was not a house in town, all tents and
half the number devoted to gambling. Table
board, without extras was $21 a week; ordinary
labor, $10 a day; miners $16; carpenters, $20
a day. A preacher I had known on the plains
had rebuked me for swearing at a vicious mule,
that rebuke terminated our friendship but the
first gambling tent I passed I met my preacher
friend bucking the tiger — he changed color
as suddenly as if he had been miscegenated.”
