IN the autumn of 1845 Frémont came on his second exploring
expedition to California. This time he [John Frémont]
divided his party east of the Sierra Nevada and sent the greater portion to come in through a
gap supposed to exist farther to the south, while he followed substantially what is now the
emigrant road, or Truckee route, and came direct to Sutters Fort with about eight or nine
men. At that time I was in charge of Sutters Fort and of Sutters business, he being absent
at the bay of San Francisco. Frémont camped on the American River about three
miles above the fort. The first notice of his return to California was his sudden appearance,
with Kit Carson, at the fort. He at once made known to me his wants, namely, sixteen
mules, six pack-saddles, some flour and other provisions, and the use of a
blacksmiths shop to shoe the mules, to enable him to go in haste to meet the others of his
party. I told him precisely what could and could not be furnishedthat we had
no mules, but could let him have horses, and could make the pack-saddles; that he
might have the use of a blacksmiths shop, but we were entirely out of coal. He became
reticent, and, saying something in a low tone to Kit Carson, rose and left without saying
good-day, and returned to his camp. As they mounted their horses to leave,
Frémont was heard to say that I was unwilling to accommodate him, which greatly
pained me; for, of course, we were always glad of the arrival of Americans, and especially
of one in authority. Besides, I knew that Captain Sutter would do anything in his power for
Frémont. So I took with me Dr. Gildea, a recent arrival from St. Louis, across the
plains, and hastened to Frémonts camp and told him what had been reported to me.
He stated, in a very formal manner, that he was the officer of one government and Sutter
the officer of another; that difficulties existed between those governments; and hence his
inference that I, representing Sutter, was not willing to accommodate him. He reminded me
that on his first arrival here, in 1844, Sutter had sent out and in half an hour had brought
him all the mules he wanted. I protested my willingness to do anything in my power, but
was obliged to plead inability to do more than stated, telling him that in 1844 Sutter was in
far better circumstances; that on that occasion a man (Peter Lassen) had just arrived with a
hundred mules, of which Sutter had bought what Frémont needed. But he had not
been able to pay for them, because Frémonts drafts had to go East before Sutter
could realize on them the money which had been promised to Lassen. In a few days Sutter
returned, but could not furnish anything more than I had offered. Then Frémont
concluded to go down to the bay and get supplies. He went with his little party of eight or
nine men, including Kit Carson, but without success; so he sent the men back to Sutters
