Captain John Sutter: Sacramento Valley's Sainted Sinner
John Sutter, "The Father of California" and the man on whose land gold was discovered, is one of California's great enigmas. Was he just an adventurer, or a far-sighted dreamer mined by the ungrateful '49ers who swarmed over Sutter's Fort? In this insightful account, Richard Dillon comes to terms with the paradoxical history of this remarkable man.
