Abstract
Charles H. Randall arrived in San Francisco in the late summer of 1849. He came a convinced believer in the California Dream. His first letter home to his parents told them firmly that there appeared “no limits” to his “chances of making money”. In August 1850 William P. Dangerfield said much the same. “Proverbial ships” were about to dock. It did not matter that on arrival Dangerfield and his party had but two dollars each. Gold was everywhere, wealth for all close at hand.
