Biographical / Historical Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the eighth of thirteen children, was born in 1808 in the then capital of Alta California, Monterey. At the age of fifteen, Vallejo became a cadet in the Mexican Army and would later serve as head of the San Francisco garrison and military commander of the northern part of Alta California. As a reward for his service and to encourage his leadership, Vallejo was granted 66,000 acres near Petaluma, on which he operated a large cattle ranch from 1836 to 1846. In 1835, Vallejo founded the pueblo of Sonoma. After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, Vallejo was forced into lengthy battles to claim his lands. When he died in 1890, Vallejo was leading a fairly modest life on his remaining 200-acre piece of land in Sonoma he called Lachryma Montis. Among Vallejo's siblings were: Jose Manuel Salvador Vallejo (1813-1876), Captain of the Militia in Sonoma and grantee of Rancho Napa, Salvador's Ranch, and (with another brother) Rancho Lupyomi; Encarnacion Vallejo (1809-1902), wife of John Finding Aid to the Vallejo Family BANC MSS C-B 441 2 Papers Bautista Rogers Cooper, grantee of Rancho Nicasio and other properties; Maria Paula Rosalia Vallejo (1811-1889), wife of Jacob P. Leese, grantee of Rancho Huichica and other properties; Jose de Jesus Vallejo (1798-1882), grantee of Rancho Arroyo de la Alameda; and Maria Isadora Vallejo (1792-1830), wife of Mariano de Jesus Soberanes. In 1832, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo married Francisca Maria Felipa Benicia Carrillo. The couple had sixteen children, ten of whom survived into adulthood. Among the Vallejo children were Epifania de Guadalupe Vallejo (1835-1905), wife of John B. Frisbie; Adelayda Vallejo (1837-1895), wife of Levi Cornell Frisbie; Natalia Veneranda Vallejo (1838-1895), wife of Attila Haraszthy; Dr Platon Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1841-1925), husband of Lily Wiley; Jovita Francisca Vallejo (1844-1878), wife of Arpad Haraszthy; Uladislao Vallejo (1945-unknown); Napoleon Primo Vallejo (1850-1923), husband of Martha Brown; Luisa Eugenia Vallejo (1856-1943), wife of Ricardo de Emparan; and Maria Ignacia Vallejo (1857-1932, wife of James Harry Cutter.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

  • Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology
    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.

How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

As such, United States' history was largely the study of Americans' westward advance, and became the supposed critical factor in their political and social development. In reference to
