John Sutter
A Life on the North American Frontier
Mining a wealth of sources, Albert L. Hurtado delivers the definitive biography of John Sutter, a Swiss expatriate who founded New Helvetia, a settlement in California's Sacramento Valley which drew overland immigrants to California in the 1840s and then--after gold was discovered by Sutter's employees--a flood of fortune seekers. Illustrations. Maps.
