APPENDIX
LIST OF MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL COMPANY[41]
[Extract from the New York "Evening Express," February 9, 1849.]
A company of young men started yesterday afternoon,
who, under the command of Major H. L.
Webb and J. W. Audubon, will take the land
route via Corpus Christi, Monterey, etc., to the
gold regions of California. The whole company
will number one hundred. Thirty-five or forty
went from Philadelphia yesterday.
They proceed direct to Cairo, which is the rendez-vous
of the party; here they will be joined by
companies from the West. At New Orleans or
thereabouts as most convenient, they will purchase
mules, horses and all necessary equipments, each
man finding his own outfit.
