A native of Kingston, Massachusetts, Mrs. Bates sailed to California in 1850 on board the Nonantum, a coaler commanded by her husband. On reaching that state, the Bateses undertook hotelkeeping in Marysville, 1851-1854. Mrs. Bates' hair-raising account of her voyage to California includes the scuttling of three ships on which the Bateses sailed, the hardships of the mining town, with special attention to the life of women and children in the camps, and details of a tour of the Sacramento Valley
