1. Where was John Sutter's sawmill located?
- In vicinity of the American River, close to Sacramento.
2. Why did the population of California increase so much after the discovery of gold?

3. I probably will. It is tempting that one can find gold in the farm and become rich. Also, a lot of my surrendered people might move to California as well (Peer pressure)
4. It's been a year since I left home for gold. Unfortunate, hence all the people rushing for gold, we did not had chance to find any. Therefore, we ceased to find gold after about half a year and settled a ranch in the south of California. Now, though we had to feed sheep, cattle, and horse, our life is better than ever before.
