John Alexander Brewster : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Alexander Brewster John Alexander Brewster (1826–1889) was the fourth California Surveyor General, serving from 1856 to 1858.〔(www.californiahistory.net )〕 He first traveled to California with explorer John C. Frémont. Although the exact date of his arrival in California is not known, it probably predated the arrival of any other Surveyor General; he was most likely a resident of California prior to the Gold Rush. Brewster was elected Surveyor of Sonoma County, and his 1854 map of Santa Rosa was the first map recorded in that county. ==Know-Nothings==
In the early 1850s, the Whig party collapsed and a new political party emerged. This party called itself the American Party and its candidates were elected overwhelmingly in the 1855 California state election. General John A. Brewster was elected as a member of the American Party. Although popular in its day, the American party’s platform opposing the election of Roman Catholics and "foreigners" was controversial. The American Party came to be known as the "Know Nothing Party", because when asked about its platform, the members said: "I know nothing".
