Description
As seen from L Street in circa 1985, spectators take in Sutter's Fort, part of the California State Parks system since 1947. Although United States and California State flags fly in the foreground, a Mexican flag hangs to the right of the frame. The tricolor flew, as early as 1840 when John Sutter became a naturalized citizen of Mexico, to 1846, when John Fremont occupied the Sutter's Fort in the name of the Bear Flag Revolt.
