520			_aThis book commemorates the 150th birthday of Sacramento, born with the epic landing on August 12, 1839, of Capt. John Sutter, one of the supreme adventurers of all time. After a journey that took him to the ends of the earth-to the grass shacks of mountains of New Archangel (the Russian fur colony at Sitka, Alaska)-he at last ascended the unexplored Rio de Sacramento, he picked the site for his colony of New Helvetia. One might well regards his landing site as the Plymouth Rock of the West, for New Helvetia was the seed of Sacramento, which became the capital of the greatest state of the greatest nation.
