Thence he proceeded to Caledonia, in the same county, and combined a mercantile and tailoring business. Two years after, he embarked in hotel-keeping, seceding from the first-named, and continued it until his determination to proceed to California was arrived at. Early in the ever memorable year of 1849 Mr. Zuck entered into a contract with General George Rowe to accompany a party acorss the plains to the Pacific. They were fitted out at St. Joseph, Missouri, and a start effected April 12th of that year. All went well with our travelers until the Platte river was reached, on June 1st, when a raid was made upon them by Indians, and two of their oxen stolen. After a chase of five miles the depredators were overhauled and called upon to surrender, when a skirmish ensued. One of the party, Dr. Fisher, had his horse shot under him, and another, Ben Toppin, was wounded by an arrow piercing his thigh. Four of the red skins were made to bite the dust. The remainder of the journey was made without further mishap, and Mr. Zuck believes that even the misadventure that happened might have been avoided. On October 26, 1849, the subject of our narrative arrived at the mines on the Yuba river, and there remained until January 28, 1850, when he moved higher up the stream, to Bullard's Bar, but had poor success. In December, 1850, he worked as a farm-laborer on the Horn Cut, and four months later purchased a ranch. Hitherto he had had no financial success; now he essayed practical farming. Purchasing two hundred acres of land in partnership with R.F. Piat, he located about fourteen miles from Marysville, on the Horn Cut, and there took up his residence. Mr. Zuck now determined to visit the East. He therefore sailed from San Francisco, December 5, 1851, in the steamer "Golden Gate", on her first voyage, and arrived in New Nork on New Year's morning, 1852. Having recrossed the plains, he arrived on his farm, near Marysville, on September 17th, of that year, whence he removed to Santa Clara county, November 7, 1853, and on the following day located on the property he occupies, now comprising eight hundred and forth acres, where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. Married, April 11, 1833, Maria Louisa Linnton, a native of Ohio, who died May 10, 1881, by whom he has: Mary Ann, born March 25, 1834. John, born November 5, 1835, died March 22, 1867 (The Hon.
