George Horatio Derby, born at Dedham, Massachusetts, April 2, 1823, graduated from West Point in 1846, and after a tour of duty in the East and Middle West, came to California in 1849. He accompanied Brig Genl. Bennet Riley on a tour of the gold districts during the summer of that year, and his Sketch of General Riley’s Route was the result of that journey.
