Page "Heinrich Schliemann" Paragraph 7

According to his memoirs, before arriving in California he dined in Washington with President Millard Fillmore and his family, but Eric Cline says that he didn't attend but simply read about it in the papers.

He also published what he said was an eyewitness account of the San Francisco fire of 1851 which he said was in June although it took place in May.

At the time he was actually in Sacramento and used the report of the fire in the Sacramento Daily Journal to write his report.
