Abstract

On November 5, 1849 a group of seven men led by Dr. Josiah Gregg, a physician, author, and explorer sent by the federal government to find the lost harbor of Trinidad, left the mining camp at Rich Bar on the Trinity River. The Indians told them that eight days' travel would bring them to a "large and beautiful bay surrounded by fine and extensive prairie land (Humboldt Bay).

This report discusses the events of the Greggwood Party as well as various houses and other locations that were established.
