Anticipating California's admission to the union, two ambitious men came to the state in 1849 seeking a seat in the U.S. Senate. Aristocratic Southerner William McKendree Gwin and David Roderick, a veteran New York politician struggled for control of California's Democratic Party during the 1850s. Their feud, personal as well as political, ended in violent death for one and disgrace for the other.
