Cartographer, Sketch Artist and Adventurer Joseph Goldsborough Bruff, 9/9/23

Cartographer, Sketch Artist and Adventurer Joseph Goldsborough Bruff is our topic. He was involved in the California Gold Rush of 1849. He copied the maps from John Fremont’s California expedition for the federal government. Bruff also was a merchant marine sailor. An interesting guy who is rarely talked about in history.
