I would like to express my appreciation to the Park Rangers and Docents at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park for their help in making this Virtual Web Museum. Without their cooperation, this site would not have been possible:

I would also like to thank the Librarians at: the California State Library; the Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center; the Sacramento City Central Main Library, Sacramento Room.
