Description: Bidwell journeyed west as part of the first emigrant train going overland from Missouri to California, where he found work at Fort Sutter. After serving with Frémont, he returned to Fort Sutter. Among the first to find gold on Feather River, Bidwell used his earnings to secure a grant north of Sacramento in 1849, and he spent the rest of his life as a farmer at "Rancho Chico," becoming a leader of the State's agricultural interests.
