Newton Cutter was of strong German-Swiss stock, one of the successful gold miners that had left the hard digging behind to take up the trade he learned at his father's knee. At 18, leaving his family almost 2000 miles away, Newton had dug for gold in the hills of Bear Valley, California, finding fortune through backbreaking work. The freezing winters drove him south to find a warmer climate and one day he rode into a quiet county town called Bradford.
