Author: Fariss & Smith (1882)

B. T. EGGLESTON was born in Herkimer county, New York, in 1824, where he was
raised a farmer. In 1849 he came to the Pacific coast, arriving at San Francisco
in September. From there he journeyed to Mormon island, and mined during the
winter. He came to Downieville in April, 1850, and has been a resident of that
town ever since. His principal occupation has been mining. In 1871 Mr. Eggleston
located the Mowry and Eggleston mine, on Cray croft hill, and has been at work
in it since that time. His elegant home on Jersey flat is portrayed on another
page of this work.
