W.W. Lawson


The name I go by is W.W. Lawson. That is all you need to know.

Born about 1800 in New York. My childhood and young adult life is a hard story —no sense recounting. I finally succeeded in becoming an attorney but was unjustly accused of a trumped-up group of charges and was forced to leave New York abruptly late one night. I then found myself in St. Louis and the operator of an arms dealership for one Colonel Colt. Again though, I was forced to leave St. Louis abruptly—the result of a large threatening vigilante organization.

Hearing of the recent discovery of gold, I found myself in Sacramento City where my many talents are in great demand. I presently own and operate a fine profitable business offering firearms sales and gunsmithing, miners assay services, and occasionally legal services—(no questions asked).

The climate here in Sacramento City is beneficial to both ones health and financial success—restrictions are minimal and I feel I will surely prosper.
