XXI JULY, 1946 NO.3 THE WESTERN SERVICES OF STEPHEN WATTS KEARNY, 1815-18.48 By *MENDELL LEE TAYLOR TEPHEN WATTS KEARNY, the fifteenth child of Phillip and S. Susannah Kearny, was born at Newark, New Jersey, August 30, 1794. He lived in New Jersey until he matricu­ lated in Columbia University in 1809. While here the na­ tional crisis of 1812 brought his natural aptitudes to the forefront. When a call· for volunteers was made for the War of 1812, Kearny enlisted, even though he was only a few weeks away from a Bachelor of Arts degree. In the early part of the war he was captured at the battle of Queenstown. But an exchange of prisoners soon brought him to Boston. Later, for gallantry at Queenstown, he received a captaincy on April 1, 1813. After the Treaty of Ghent the army staff was cut' as much as possible.

  • The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion
    The Chronology of the Mormon Battalion A TIMELINE OF EVENTS SURROUNDING THE MARCH OF THE MORMON BATTALION Most students of Mormon history will recall that the story of the Mormon Battalion began during the early days of the Saints’ westward trek to the Rocky Mountains. Many will also associate the end of the Battalion’s march across the Southwest to California with the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill. However, the events leading up to the Mexican War and the dramatic results of that war on the history and geography of the United States are probably less well remembered. This chronology presents a combined timeline of LDS Church history, US history, the Mexican War, the march of the Mormon Battalion, and includes significant events following the mustering out of Battalion members. 1821 August 24 Mexico becomes independent of Spain after more than ten years of civil war. At the time, Mexico claims most of the western third of what would eventually be the continental United States, although it was sparsely settled except by Native Americans. The northern Mexican territories include Texas, Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico) and Alta California (Upper California). 1830 April 6 The Church of Jesus Christ is organized by Joseph Smith at Fayette, New York. 1836 March 2 Texas declares independence from Mexico, the result of an increasing number of American settlers who resent centralized control by the Mexican government. After several defeats at the hands of the Mexican Army, led by General Santa Anna, Sam Houston leads a surprise attack by the inexperienced Texian army against the Mexican army at San Jacinto, scoring a dramatic victory and capturing Santa Anna.

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.

  • 182 the Journal of San Diego History BOOK REVIEWS
    The Journal of San Diego History BOOK REVIEWS Kearny’s Dragoons Out West: The Birth of the U.S. Cavalry. By Will Gorenfeld and John Gorenfeld. Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 2016. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, and index. xiii + 466 pp. $34.95 cloth. Reviewed by Dave Bush, Adjunct History Instructor, Shasta College. Kearny’s Dragoons Out West relates the story of the 1st Dragoons, a regiment created by Congress in 1833 and assigned the task of patrolling the Great American Desert, a “worthless and uninhabitable” land (p. 7). But this territory was neither worthless nor uninhabitable, and in fact the recent relocation of Indian tribes from the East to the Great Plains created inter-tribal conflicts as well as disputes between whites and Native Americans. Since dispersed infantry companies were ill-suited to contain these conflicts, Congress created the st1 Dragoons as a quick-reaction occupation force. Will and John Gorenfeld argue that the creation of the unit was the “first step toward creating a specialized cavalry capable of controlling the frontier” (p. 23). Their book examines the 1st Dragoons’ work in this capacity as well as its role in the Mexican War. From the 1st Dragoons’ inception until the outbreak of war, these soldiers had four main objectives: to enforce American Indian compliance with federal policy by ensuring that eastern tribes recently relocated to the West did not attempt to return to their homeland and to maintain peace among tribal groups living on the Plains; to keep the Indian Territory free of unauthorized white trespassers; to protect the profitable Santa Fe trail; and finally, to map the areas they traversed.

  • Chapter II - the BUILDING of CAPISTRANO
    SADDLEBACK ANCESTORS Chapter II - THE BUILDING OF CAPISTRANO Agullars, Early and Later The name of Isidro Aguilar, el maestro albanil, is mentioned in a letter dated 13 November 1796 to Governor Borica from Father Vincente Fuster requesting permission to begin building the Great Stone Church at San Juan Capistrano (Schuetz-Miller 1994:51) [original is in Santa Barbara Mission Archives Library]. It was this Msn San Juan Capistrano, 1776 man from Culiacan who supervised the building of the church from 1796 until his death. "On February 21, 1803, Fr. Lasuen writes to the viceroy and to the College that the Mission of San Juan Capistrano had suffered a mishap in the death of the master mason who had come up from Mexico" (Engelhardt 1922:40). No record of his burial has been found in the records of the Missions San Diego, San Msn San Diego Juan Capistrano or San Gabriel. The records of Mission de Alcala, 1769 San Luis Rey are lost. Perhaps he was on loan to that Mission to consult about its new construction projects at the time of his death. The magnificent structure in which Isidro played such an important part was completed in 1806 after his death. Because of its grandness and overpowering beauty, it earned Mission San Juan Capistrano the title of "Jewel of the Missions." Msn San Luis Rey The days of this beautiful church were short, however. de Francia, 1798 Disaster struck on 8 December 1812 during the celebration of the first Holy Mass of that day. An earthquake with two violent shocks occurred and the church collapsed.
