Paperback. Condition: New. John A. Sutter (1803-1880) could have become one of the richest men in California when gold was found on his property. Instead he lost his vast land holdings on the Sacramento and Feather Rivers and eventually left California penniless. Sutter always claimed to be the victim of charlatans, but he bore…considerable responsibility for his downfall. He had amassed huge debts before the gold discovery and added even more afterward. In the rough dealings of frontier capitalism in gold rush California, Sutter was easy prey.Soon after the gold discovery, Sutter's eldest son, John Jr., (1826-1897) arrived, but soon moved south to Mexico. Hoping to obtain compensation for the land that he and his father had lost, John, Jr., returned to California in 1855 to give his lawyer a thorough statement cataloging how both Sutters were swindled. This extensive document describes the dirty deals of the first great gold rush in the western United States.Sutter's statement has not been available for sixty years. Editor Allan R. Ottley reproduced and annotated this statement, providing a full biographical context and offering an appendix, bibliography, and index. Albert L. Hurtado's introduction updates the book, originally published in 1942.

Covers are virtually pristine and intact except for slight darkening. Corners are sharp and not bumped. A Near Fine copy. Publication No. 2 of the Sacramento Book Collectors Club (SBCC). Edited, with a Biography, by Allan R. Ottley. This is the first publication of John A. Sutter, Jr.'s "Statement Regarding Early California Experiences," a fifty-two-page manuscript in which Sutter, Jr. defends his reputation amid accusations that he had squandered his father's fortune. He adamantly defends his character and explains what really happened to the lost Sutter holdings. John A. Sutter, Jr. (1826-1897) was the founder of Sacramento and the eldest son of the famous California pioneer, John A. Sutter, Sr., and his wife, Anna Sutter. The story behind the controversy Sutter, Jr. addresses in his Statement is that he went into severe debt and lost most of the Sutter family's holdings after being swindled by Sam Brannan and other businessmen in an unscrupulous deal. Sutter, Jr. had sold his family's land but hardly received any payment from them. Brannan and the others had also found a way to bring numerous court cases against him which further cemented his financial and legal troubles. Sutter, Jr. fled to Acapulco, Sonora, Mexico to for both legal and health-related respite. In Acapulco, Sutter, Jr. eventually established a successful business and became a U.S. Consul there. Excerpt from back colophon: "One hundred and sixty copies of this work have been printed for the members of The Sacramento Book Collectors Club under the supervision of George T. Smisor, instructor in printing at the Sacramento College. As a class project in fine printing, the typesetting, page makeup, and printing were done by the following students: Joseph Cerniglia, King Fong, Fred Higgs, Arthur James, Arnold Rowell, Gordon Skoglund, Thomas Squires, Ronald Warford. . Bookbinding was done by Silvius and Schoenbackler, bookbinders, Sacramento.".

No Binding. Condition: Fine. ("J. A. Sutter") 1 page with integral leaf, Pueblo de San Jose, March 13, 1850. 9 3/4" x 7 1/2". Fine. Sutter's contract with A. Schweeb and P. Barkman for building a two story house with attic in San Jose. Sutter agreed to provide the lumber. Terms were $1,000 within 30 days; another thousand in six… weeks; and a final $2,000 on completion. Signed by Sutter, Schweeb, Barkman and a witness. The building of this house may relate to the fact that Sutter's family had recently rejoined him from Switzerland at the end of January, 1850. Sutter (1803-1880) was a Swiss pioneer in California. His gold discovery in 1848 kicked off the subsequent Gold Rush. Inscribed by Author(s).
