Mojave Desert History > Names in History Darwin French(1822-1902)As an army physician, Dr. French came to California in 1846 during the Mexican-American War. After the war he became a cattle rancher near Fort Tejon.

It was through this connection that he later learned of the Lost Gunsight mine. In 1860, he explored the area between the Owens and Panamint valleys in search of the silver-laden mine.
