Palmer Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1866 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This is a lithograph painted during the California gold rush of emigrants crossing the lands to reach California. This relates back to The Lamplighter because during the story, we see Gertrude receive a letter from her father, who describes what happened during the California Gold Rush, where many people moved from their homes to California, in order to try and profit on the recent discovery of gold. We see in the lithograph the people moving across the Rocky Mountains, moving to California in order to capitalize on this. The lithograph shows us how these people crossed to their new homeland, bringing everything on covered wagons and hauling it across the United States.
