John Sutter


 

Johann Augustus Sutter (February 15, 1803June 18, 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. Although famous throughout California for his association with the Gold Rush, Sutter ironically died quite poor, having seen his business ventures fail while those of his son, Augustus Sutter, prospered.
