Sutter of Calliformia and the gold standard link
A reflective profile traces Johann August Suter born 1608 in Kandera to Gen John Sutter of California and the California gold rush. It links his life to the US gold decision era, noting how Sutter's fort and the discovery at Coloma sparked a global rush, altered California’s fate, and influenced economic history up to the present supreme court decision.
