This book contains a brief biographical account of John Augustus Sutter, Sr. (1803-1880), a Swiss-American immigrant who founded Sutter's Fort, and printed extracts taken from letters that were originally written between Annie Bidwell (nee Kennedy; 1839-1918) and John Bidwell (1819-1900). The Sutters and Bidwells were close friends. After John Sutter's passing, Annie visited his widow, Annette Sutter (nee Dubeld or Dubold; 1805-1881) in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The Bidwells' letters give further insights into the life of John Sutter, especially during his final days and thereafter. For example, Annie writes about John Sutter's funeral, her visit to Annette, and her impressions of one of the Sutters' children, Emil Sutter (of whom she does not have a high opinion of). Appendices include a "Poem by Henry Morford," "Unsigned letter by Mrs. Bidwell in the Washington Evening Star," "Eulogy on Sutter by Gen. Horatio G. Gibson," "Recollections of Sutter by Gen. John C. Fremont," and a "Letter by Col. I. S. Tichenor to Mrs. Bidwell." Back colophon: "This book was designed and printed by Susan Acker at the Feathered Serpent Press.

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.
