My recreation of the Sutter's Fort flag.





Sutter’s Fort was the center and headquarters of his vast California ranch named "Nueva Helvecia" (New Switzerland) after his homeland. As an official of the Mexican government Sutter had displayed the Mexican Civil Flag, one without the eagle and serpent. One of these flags was defaced with a red star after news and the prisoners from then Bear Flag Revolt reached Sutter’s Fort. This is most likely the flag that flew at Sutter's Fort during California's brief period of independence. It flew for less than a month, and while Sutter may have tolerated it, he did not design it, or make it.
