	Welcome to Sutter Creek, California - History
		John Sutter (1803-1880), for whom the City of Sutter Creek was named, is perceived as an enterprising but sympathetic figure in the early American settlement of Mexican California.
		Sutter was inclined to harshly punish insubordinate actions by the Indians, such as leaving the harvest at New Helvetia to attend to a good hunting or acorn season.
		Sutter did try, with partners, to become a merchant to all the miners, but after being cheated by his partners, and with creditors hounding his every step, Sutter determined that the only way to avoid losing everything was to deed his land to his son, John Sutter, Jr.

	John Sutter
		John Augustus Sutter (February 15, 1803 - June 18th, 1880) was a Californian famous for his association with the California Gold Rush (in that gold was discovered by James W. Marshall in Sutter's Mill) and for establishing Sutter's Fort in an area that would later become the capital of California, Sacramento.
		Sutter was born as Johann Augustus Suter (the second t was added later) on February 15, 1803 in Kandern, Baden, Germany.

	History
		John Sutter on whose land gold was discovered should have become a rich man yet he became a classic victim of the California gold rush.
		Although the enterprising Sutter owned thousands of acres in Northern California, the greedy prospectors soon filed claims on much of it and he lost everything due to the delay in acting on his case by the United States' Land Commission.
		It is probably a little-know fact that hardly any of the prospectors got rich from their gold mines, however, many enterprising people profited from both real estate and mercantile businesses providing the much needed supplies to the large number of miners.
