F. A. ESCHBACHER was born in Baden, Germany, October 2, 1824. He was raised a
farmer, and came to the United States in March, 1854, stopping a short time in
Cincinnati, and then coming by way of the Isthmus to California. In the spring
of 1855 he arrived at Downieville, and engaged in mining for eight years, three
years of which were spent at the Primrose, in Hog canon. In 1862 he went into
partnership with A. Heiser in the bakery business, which they conducted until
the fire of 1864, after which Mr. Eschbacher put up the St. Charles hotel, where
he has since been landlord and proprietor. The hotel is pleasantly located on
Main street, and enjoys a popularity and patronage not exceeded by any hotel in
the mountains. In the management of the place he is ably seconded by his affable
and energetic spouse, who looks carefully after the wants of their numerous
guests. A view of the St. Charles hotel appears on another page.
