Remarkable Career of General Butter Pioneer of the Sierras
Philadelphia Times profiles John A Butter known as the discovery catalyst of gold in California. The long, dramatic life spans French army officer to California frontier lord to a betrayed settler. Butter’s forts and outposts, ledgers, and legal battles over New Helvetia and Sobrante yielded vast land, wealth, and later losses. He is depicted as a national benefactor whose fortunes rose with California’s rise and then fell under relentless lawsuits and debt.
