Little Known Tales in Sacramento History
Description:
John Sutter, who left Switzerland to escape debtor’s prison, came to California and built a giant land monopoly. Again, he became heavily in debt and died destitute.The entire Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys were inundated for 300 miles long and 20 miles wide by the flood of 1862. The cholera epidemic killed more than 1,000 citizens, including doctors and others who were caring for the patients. The Old City Cemetery is an exciting place. As docents are quick to remind, “People are dying to get in here.” The docents know their job. It’s almost as though they are trying to bring the city’s cemeteries back to life. We love the epitaph on one headstone that simply reads: “See ya later”.
