John Sutter sent about twenty men to the American River in 1848 to investigate reports of gold discovery. He aimed to confirm the rumors and assess the potential impact on his land and business at Sutter's Fort. Sutter hoped to capitalize on the gold rush by establishing control over the mining activities in the region. However, the discovery of gold ultimately led to a massive influx of miners, disrupting his plans and the landscape of California.
