John Marsh [1799-1856], after graduation from Philips Academy, Andover, in his native Massachusetts, and from Harvard (1823) was appointed a tutor to officer's children at Fort Snelling in present day Minnesota. He studied medicine there, then served as an Indian agent in Wisconsin and published a Sioux grammar (1831). In time he made his way to Los Angeles (1836), where he became California's first practicing doctor. He collected fees in cattle hides, which allowed him to buy Los Medanos rancho near Mt.
