"The wandering Maidu Indians were here first. Then came the early explorer, trapper, priest, cartographer, seaman. In 1839 John Augustus Sutter came. His authority was total: he married, buried, punished, rewarded, made war, and made peace. He was to see his empire reduced to a pathway to the Sierra gold fields, and he would die bitter, estranged. Here the pioneers would claim as their city of Sacramento all territory west to the Coast Range, east to the Sierra, north to the Oregon Territory, and south to the Techachapi."
