On July 7, 1846, Commodore John D. Sloat raised the American flag over the building marking the official takeover of California by the U.S. military. The building remained an important edifice during the transition to American rule, and over time became a valued symbol of an earlier age. The building was preserved through the efforts of the Native Sons of the Golden West and the citizens of California. <p></p> Registered: 6/1/1932 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/ea97662dac90b9538e3be842e51ed041.JPG 3d4a493f8cf76b4d644a33dd1f865594 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/e4e954b1e7efbd25749a7aafbf646303.JPG 65cf1985056717b3d62eb43e52ee247a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/d463ea9e528560f281d71b2c9602ef21.JPG d66e957a01ab46926abfb079cf01300f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At the start of the California Gold Rush miners flocked to the Mokelumne River and set up camps and towns along its mineral-rich banks. Just across the river from Sonora Bar lay the exceedingly rich gravel deposits of Poverty Bar. A ferry was established that carried miners across the river to Poverty Bar and the hard-rock mines of Calaveras County. Eventually the name of the camp was changed from Sonora Bar to Lancha Plana, Spanish for "flat boat," a reference to the ferry.<br /><br />Lancha Plana reached the height of its prosperity after 1856 when hill and bluff mining largely replaced river mining. In 1858, the town boasted a population of over 1,000 people, enough to support it's own newspaper. The Lancha Plana Dispatch went into circulation on March 3, 1860. By November of that year, the successful newspaper was relocated to Jackson, the Amador County seat, and became the Amador County Dispatch.<br /><br />Today, what is left of Lancha Plana lays beneath the waters of the East Bay Municipal Utility District's Camanche Reservoir. The modern Lancha Plana Bridge is located near the now inundated town after which it is named.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thank you to the East Bay Municipal Utility District for allowing the placement of this commemorative plaque on their property.<br /><br />Dedicated January 21, 2017 (6022) by the James W.

In the early 1850's, the camp of Clinton became a market town, supplying the placer miners of the middle and southern forks of Jackson Creek, and later the shallow quartz mines around Irishtown and Clinton. As a stop on the stage road between Jackson, Aqueduct City and Volcano, Clinton grew and by 1852 had 100 clapboard and canvas houses and the areas only hotel. The camp was predominantly occupied by Mexican, Chilean and French miners. The Spagnoli family, proprietors of the main mercantile store and ranch, helped secure Clintons future by also developing the ditches that supplied water to placer claims, around the Clinton area. Once Amador County was formed in 1854, Clinton entrepreneur Thomas Loehr petitioned the county to declare the road from Jackson to Clinton a public road. In 1877 Clinton was still alive enough for the Garbarini brothers to build St. Peter &amp; Paul's Catholic Church which remained, when the town disappeared. In 2003, descendants of the Garbarini's, returned to restore the small church and it was moved to the Kennedy Mine Foundation's grounds in the Jackson gate area.<br /><br />This plaque dedicated on March 19th 2011 and year of our order 6016 by the James W.

Originally, the watercourse ran from a point on the Ventura River about 1/2 mile north of the remaining ruins and carried the water to holding tanks behind the San Buenaventura Mission, a total of about 7 miles. The aqueduct was built by Chumash Indians 1805-15 to meet the needs of the mission population and consisted of both ditches and elevated stone masonry. The entire water system was destroyed by floods and abandoned in 1862. <p></p> http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/42d26d928573ceb42234b38854e248c4.JPG eb58c7dd523719263d63b9d03bf4ab9d http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/f23636bfebd931c0eded74866dc63802.JPG dccdd076f370a39ec56403956e997360 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/fa2d90cef17f31883e5e98ae511a9f0a.JPG f82966c1c379344136646bcd2ab5242a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/4a104c5a52fcb23d89d67a3a1450ba49.JPG 997d1588ff407e461e0f2a87106e51a4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sam Clemens had come over the mountains from Virginia City, Nevada, to San Francisco with his friend Steve Gillis. His various biographers gave different reasons for Clemens coming to Jackass Hill. No matter the reason, Sam Clemens arrived here on December 4, 1864.<br /><br />Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, stayed with the other two Gillis brothers, Jim and Bill, and Dick Stoker (local pocket miners) until about February 25, 1865. While living on the hill, Sam heard the story of the “Jumping Frog” in an Angels Camp saloon. His version would transform his life. Also some of the tall tales spun by the Gills brothers and Stoker would find their way into Mark Twain’s later writings. That short stay here in the Sierra had quite an impact on American Literature.<br /><br />Time and the elements took their toll on the first “Mark Twain Cabin,” so the Sonora Sunrise Rotary Club, during 2002-05, restored the cabin as its centennial project, celebrating 100 years of rotary (1905–2005). This cabin was dedicated on February 23, 2005, the 100th birthday of Rotary International.<br /> <p></p> Registered 6/6/1934 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/cf212c96ce12420e86dfa54fc91f2970.JPG e106f2af9c3ca2948273144d80e8c758 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/700089a07bd9a9ec1c23e0f66b966b6e.JPG 9a9250956c77b2acc67337316d49dd85 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/d0a3aa31331f99d205a02e22fbe0347c.JPG 00cb21b7f1978c1a1c765df68103c0b4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Fremont signed the Treaty of Cahuenga on January 13, 1847. Signing the Treaty ended the hostilities in California between the United States and Mexico, and led to the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ceded California to the U.S. and formally ended the Mexican-American War. The adobe, then owned by a Spaniard, Eulogio de Celis, may have been built as early as 1795 when this land on El Camino Real was occupied by a veteran Mexican soldier, Mariano de la Luz Verdugo. Between 1810 and 1834, the San Fernando Mission owned the land.<br /><br />The adobe also served as a stop on the Butterfield Stage from 1858 to 1861. Butterfield carried passengers, mail, and cargo throughout the western United States from Tipton, MO to San Francisco, CA.<br /><br />During construction of the Metro Rail station, the MTA team uncovered, researched, evaluated, and cataloged these foundations. In 1997, the archaeological remains of the adobe were determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.&nbsp; The remnants have been protected in place for future generations to discover, observe and interpret.

This was the first three story building and the first grand hotel in Los Angeles. Pico chose architect Ezra F. Kysor to design the "finest hotel in Los Angeles." To raise funds for the building and furnishing of the hotel, Pio and his brother Andres sold most of their vast landholdings in the San Fernando Valley. Construction began on September 18, 1869, and the hotel opened for business on June 9, 1870.<br /><br />The hotel was built in the Italianate style, with deep set round-arched windows and doors. The Main Street and Plaza facades were stuccoed to resemble blue granite. The hotel had eighty two bedrooms and twenty one parlors as well as bathrooms and water closets for each sex on each floor. A French chef presided over a large dining room on the first floor. The Pico House was decorated with furniture of the best quality, with walnut pieces on the second floor and lighter woods but still "pleasing to the eye and of good quality" on the third floor. Many of the bedrooms opened into an interior court festooned with vines and birdcages.<br /><br />The prime period of the hotel was in 1876 when the railroad came to Los Angeles and when Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria stayed there. Unfortunately, Pio Pico was not to profit from his hotel as he lost it to foreclosure in 1880 because of non-payment of debts. The hotel management changed frequently in the ensuing years. Many of the proprietors were of French or Italian origin. Around 1882 a balcony was added to the Plaza and Main street facades and its name was changed for several decades to the National Hotel. The hotel gradually declined and was taken over by the state in 1953. <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> Pío Pico constructed the Pico House in 1869-70. The first three-story hotel built in Los Angeles, it had about eighty rooms, large windows, a small interior court, and a grand staircase. <p></p> Registered 1/11/1935 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/0919e02ea59237054c587947d71db0fd.jpg c6f984bd1f6bd11ab4337a48fb19c8ee http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1fa5c70e80181ecb6ee3d90f47df1faf.JPG fd3b2a9eb3ce08b9f443bec7a3fc1c8f http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/e2867e916ea4efe895fba2129ea05388.JPG 4740dd75522ae0d222649cbd270df929 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/bea7bd008dfa84817ad670d8929a301a.JPG e4dff297586a6368d4d917eb47c35674 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It served as the center of theatrical activity in the city from 1871 to 1876. The theatre was built by William Abbot, the son of Swiss immigrants who settled in Los Angeles in 1854. In 1858, he married the woman for whom he would name the theatre, Maria Merced Garcia, the daughter of Jose Antonio Garcia and Maria Guadalupe Uribe, who were long-time residents of the Los Angeles pueblo.<br /><br />The theatre was designed by Ezra F. Kysor, the architect of the Pico House. Similar to the Pico House, Kysor used the Italianate style, but made the building more ornate. The theatre was located on the second floor of the three-story building. The ceiling of the second story is higher than that of the Pico House next door, an adjustment to allow for the stage, scenery and props. Thus, the building itself rises somewhat above the Pico House. Construction was completed in December, 1870 and the first performance, a melodrama entitled "Fanchon the Little Cricket," opened on January 30, 1871. Performances were mainly given in English, although some productions were presented in Spanish. Ticket prices ranged from 50 cents in the balcony to $1.00 for "parquette chairs."<br /><br />The opening of Wood's Opera House in 1876, which was located only four doors south of the Merced, as well as a smallpox epidemic which struck the area that same year led to the decline of the Merced Theatre. The last performance was given on New Year's Day, 1877. <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> The Merced Theatre, erected in 1870 on North Main Street next to the Pico House, was the first building built expressly for theatrical purposes in Los Angeles.

Stone, with 21 enlisted men, established Benicia Arsenal as an ordnance depot in August 1851. The first building, a small wooden powder magazine, was erected in September 1851. Between 1853 and 1863, Congress authorized $550,000 to be spent on the establishment, and some 15 stone and frame buildings were constructed. The arsenal was first called 'California Ordnance Depot,' then 'Benicia Arsenal Depot,' and finally, in the spring of 1852, 'Benicia Arsenal.' It played an important role in crises such as the Indian wars. Some of its original buildings are in use today. Descendants of the men who established Benicia Arsenal are still living in Benicia and other parts of California. <p></p> Registered 3/6/1935 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/6756fe2a8baa4d14c22620b9afc9fad5.JPG 0700b8ccd5b0bbfb79e89875df19e97f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Picacho employed 700 miners at its peak from 1895 to 1900. Mill accidents, low ore quality, and the loss of cheap river transport with the building of Laguna Dam led to numerous periods of inactivity. With ores far from worked out, the Picacho Mines, using modern techniques, again resumed operations in 1984.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with Squibob Chapter, E Clampus Vitus and the Imperial Valley Pioneers Historical Society.

Dating from the late 1830’s this structure represents a period when the Wiwok were abandoning their traditional dwellings in favor of more sheltered adobe houses.<br /><br />Encouraged by his friend, Mariano Vallejo, Ynitia sought and was granted title to 8,800 acres around Olompali village by the Mexican government in 1843. In addition to raising over 600 head of cattle, he cultivated grain fields and a small vineyard. Ynitia became a successful rancher through trade with the Mexicans, the Russians and early American settlers. His land grant was confirmed in 1852 by the United States Government, thus becoming the only Native American in Northern California to have his land grant ratified.<br /><br />The only skirmish of the Bear Flag Rebellion occurred here on June 14, 1846, between Mexican soldiers and the <i>Bear Flaggers</i> from Sonora. The short lived <i>Battle of Olompali</i> resulted in the death of a Mexican officer.<br /><br /> <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> This house was built in 1776 by the father of Camillo Ynitia or Unitia, the last chief of the Olompali Indians. The Indians were taught to make adobe bricks by Lieutenant Bodega and his party while they were surveying and charting the harbor of San Francisco Bay. The old adobe house is inside the house now on the site.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Updated description:</strong></span><br /><br />Formerly known as "Oldest House North of San Francisco Bay." Reportedly built as a one room adobe in 1776 with the assistance of Lieutenant Bodega's survey party under the King of Spain, further research indicates a more likely two-part construction beginning in 1834. The Camilo Ynitia Adobe is named in recognition of the only U.S. land grant owned and maintained by a Native American in Alta California.

He also built a bridge over nearby Markleeville Creek and began collecting tolls from the mule team and foot traffic headed south over the bridge to Silver Mountain. <p>Over the next year and a half, Markley began selling off lots in his new town of “Markleeville” and took in a partner, selling a half-interest in his land claim to Henry W. Tuttle. The tiny settlement blossomed from a few small shanties and wagon tops into a bustling new town with 168 buildings.</p> <p>On May 14, 1863, Markley was shot outside the front door of his cabin during a dispute with his partner.

In the 1840’s an oak forest grew near the present Lawrence Expressway, but brackish water and marshy soil limited tree growth in the region to the east providing an unobstructed view of Mission Santa Clara three miles ahead. The battle took place in this open plain.<br /><br />As you face towards City Hall, the battle area ranged from your left, towards Lawrence Expressway, to your right, towards the De La Cruz overpass. The American Expeditionary force emerged from the trees, on a road that reached the present El Camino Real at Pomeroy Avenue. At that point they first sighted the deployed rancheros on horseback on the open plain. When the Americans’ cannon mired in the mud, halting their march, the rancheros came closer. This site was near where today El Camino crosses Saratoga Creek. An exchange of gunfire occurred with no one hurt. The rancheros returned to their camp, within sight of the people watching from the mission rooftops. After extracting their cannon from the mud the Americans continued to the mission. The skirmishing lasted approximately two hours, but it took five days of negotiations before the official treaty ceremony ended the Battle of Santa Clara.<br /><br />Placed by the order of the Santa Clara Historical Landmarks Commission September 9, 2000 <p></p> Registered 9/3/1937 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/e2a72cc8433d38dcfbf99b23ecef7531.JPG 8a090455c431089360dbf3ac19361915 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/a076223c9909d934d8c7f5d9cd2dfe8c.jpg 5a6e9d8ae34001f87f9d1a6dcb2c47a8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Another grist mill was built in 1823 near the mission and the old mill was gradually abandoned - it passed from mission control in 1846. The property remained in private hands until 1903, when Henry E. Huntington bought the building and used it for a golf clubhouse. Later owners, Mr. and Mrs. James Brehm, had the mill restored in 1928 by Frederick Rupple. <p></p> Registered 7/12/1939 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/7a4564b15eb5a5d0c44eb6220338eb00.jpg 3976515c2979280c0d8b98f86fc6d9b7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When he was 20 years old, he joined the Gold Rush to California along with his friend, John H. Kappelmann, arriving in Sacramento on October 12, 1849. The partners spent time in the southern mines, engaged in the hotel and butcher business in Buena Vista, and along with John Dent, brother-in-law of President Ulysses S. Grant, conducted a trading post on the Stanislaus River near Knights Ferry. Willms and Kappelmann also built the Table Mountain Water Company with the water being used for mining in the Buena Vista gravel mines.<br /><br />In 1852 the partners settled on the old Willms homestead, buying up claims from surrounding settlers and began raising horses for the mines in Virginia City and Bodie. The "KW" brand was the first brand registered in Tuolumne County in April 1852. In 1867 Willms married Elizabeth Kappelmann, his partner's sister, who became the mother of seven children, John Henry, Etta, Fred, Clara, Arthur, Walter, and Camilla. After Kappelmann's death in 1881, Willms went into the cattle business and increased the ranch holdings to over 10,000 acres. The ranch house was built in 1892. The Willms Land and Cattle Company was incorporated in 1909 and operated until World War II when the corporation was dissolved with each partner managing their own land. The majority of the original ranch is still owned by the Willms descendants and has been in continuous operation for the past 163 years.

His son, young Ben, when age 12, discovered the first gold in the area by accident. One evening, while walking the family cow home, he saw some gold, told his father who, upon investigation, found a rich vein of ore near the surface of the ground. Young Ben was much excited and wanted to stake a claim at once. However since he was too young his father took it up for him. This mine was called the Soulsby Mine. People settled here making a large camp which was later called Soulsbyville. The mine, one of the first hard-rock mines in Tuolumne Co., was worked exclusively by Cornish miners. Between 60 and 70 "Cousin Jacks" as they were known, were employed here. Veins of gold bearing ore ran 12' wide to a depth of 650' requiring the operation of 2 Ingersoll and 2 Darlington drills along with a 15 stamp mill.

Dedicated November 5, 1950.<br /> <h4>Private plaque text:</h4> Prairie City Cemetery<br /><br />The birth of Prairie City, Sacramento County, was announced in the pages of <i>The Sacramento Daily Union</i> newspaper in June of 1853. Located 21 miles from the City of Sacramento, it was approximately 2 miles south of Negro Bar, now known as Folsom. By that month, 40 frame and canvas houses had been erected and a water ditch for mining purposes was being constructed by the Natoma Water and Mining Company.<br /><br />By July 4th, the town had 1500 inhabitants, including 15 families with women and children. Shortly thereafter, a mining district was formed to establish the “rules” for the miners, and later the area was designated as an election precinct.<br /><br />Placer deposits began to diminish in 1854 and many of the miners and their families began to move away. Still, others stayed as they had established their homes and families in that vicinity. The U.S. Post Office closed its doors in early March 1866. By the mid-1870s, little of the original town remained, though the school district continued until about the mid-1880s.<br /><br />As late as 1901, the abandoned townsite was still referred to as Prairie City, though few remained there.<br /><br />In Memoriam<br />Here lie the remains of twelve souls discovered during the construction of the Prairie City Road and Highway 50 interchange in May of 1997. They were relocated to this spot by the California Department of Transportation with the cooperation of The County of El Dorado. Through their efforts, with the assistance of the Folsom Historical Society and El Dorado County Pioneer Cemetery Commission, these twelve deceased may now rest in peace forever.<br /><br />Erected by the California Department of Transportation.&nbsp; For further information on known and possible interments, please visit the Folsom History Museum. <p></p> Registered 8/30/1950 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/f27541c0ec4b446988a24bdaf2efe718.jpg 6ab1e6d3fd315cc81c1b0f25b6e4c3db Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the 1850s the town of Michigan Bar was the largest in Cosumnes Township, with as many as 1500 people. By 1800 the town had declined but still retained its post office, Wells Fargo office, and important pottery works. Little remained by the 20th century and much of the town was destroyed by hydraulic mining and dredging. The Michigan Bar School was in use until the 1940s. <br /><br />This plaque placed by the California Department of Transportation (August 2001)<br /><br />The Michigan Bar Mining District<br />The Michigan Bar Mining District covered a vast area roughly between the towns of Michigan Bar and Sloughhouse. The district's placer gold deposits were mined extensively between 1849 and 1900, primarily by hydraulic and ground sluicing techniques. Dredging was another successful technique and extended the district's mining life into the 1950s. Total gold production in this district has been estimated at over 1,500,000 ounces.<br /><br />Placer mining followed the typical sequence of starting with easily reached river deposits. Once those deposits were exhausted, miners turned to nearby gulches but had to haul their dirt to the rivers for processing. The construction of ditches made it possible to work deposits far from water sources and the first in the Michigan Bar area was completed in 1851. The Prairie Ditch, still visible near here, was completed in 1858, and signaled the beginning of hydraulic mining in the area.<br /><br />Miners and their families were a diverse group from the United States and Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Islands. Native Americans continued to live in the vicinity for some years after the discovery of gold led to the loss of their homelands. Some no doubt worked for miners and ranchers in the Michigan Bar District. Several African American mining families also lived in Michigan Bar for many years.<br /><br />This 1860s photograph of hydraulic mining in the Michigan Bar Mining District is presented courtesy of the California Department of Mines and Geology. If you look up from the photograph you'll see a remnant hydraulic scarp not unlike the one depicted. The power of the pressurized water against the hillsides, combined with additional water arriving from miles away through ditch systems, made it much easier to break down the soils and process them for the gold they contained. But the technique also crated tons of debris, much of which made its way into the river system, depositing silt and flooding croplands. Only after a major lawsuit filed by Sacramento and San Joaquin valley farmers was California hydraulic mining curtailed in 1884.<br /> <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> Now practically obliterated by hydraulic and dredging operations, the booming town of Michigan Bar once contained 1,500 population. Gold was discovered here in 1849 by citizens of Michigan, after whom the settlement was named. Pottery works, once largest in the state, were located here, and town contained a post office and Wells Fargo agency. <p></p> Registered 8/30/1950 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/ce0f964c981d0250c8c57073bbef7728.jpg 02722c3b1922a9255f7e7d4597a481da http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/5075a5ed2ed9c71442a6671a0d2a1b98.jpg 1647f6eb05d1c5076727c919e9fac505 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/6a5a30edac3e48ebb514189b705cf4b5.jpg 049ad3383f46f19a0864cb16f9726cc3 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/c024a6ad04aa6c6fcd5504f3bad28a6d.jpg e76cc030c85b8fa6408b6a5aae116675 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Savage, established a store built of logs. He engaged in trading and mining and married several squaws for protection and influence. In spring of 1850, fearing Indian depredations, he moved to Mariposa Creek. In December, his store and others were pillaged and burned and a real war began. A volunteer battalion was formed and Savage elected Major. In pursuit of the most warlike tribe their secret hide-out, Yosemite Valley, was discovered, and the war brought to a quick end. Major Savage was killed by a political opponent, August 1852. Several years later one of his widows guided John Hite, a poor prospector, a few miles up this south fork to discover a gold mine that made him a millionaire. <p></p> Registered 3/7/1955 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/03ff3f3640b4c5546f08d3e1de323a8d.JPG b15cf3ed022e8f38e5447b73d003b286 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/f288badc6a2bd1c5248356a2d2556bf5.JPG bcdeb550007ab7a88b84c5954150be11 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/c25d0055fd28986798d5de24f7d2d2a0.JPG 0993b58997fd7cde1492cd55ecbe8f3a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The flume connected with the Los Angeles Bullion Road. The lumber from the flume was used for timbering in the mine and buildings, and the wood was turned into charcoal in these kilns, then hauled to Steven's Wharf east of here on Owens Lake. There it was put on the Steamer "Bessie Brady," or the "Mollie Stevens," hailed directly across the lake, and from there wagons tool it up the "Yellow Grade" to Cerro Gordo Mine high in the Inyo Mountains above Keeler. M. W. Belshaw's Furnaces had used all available wood around the Cerro Gordo and the charcoal was necessary to continue production. <br /><br />The bullion which was then taken out by the reverse of this route was hauled to Los Angeles on Remi Nadeau's 14, 16, 18 animal freight wagons and played a major part in the building of that little pueblo unto the city it is today.<br /> <h4>Plaque addendum text:</h4> Plaque originally dedicated in 1955 by the California Eastern Sierra Museum Association.

Willis, and Wilford Hudson, members of the Mormon Battalion, set out from Sutter's Fort to hunt deer. Stopping on the south fork of the American River, they found gold. They told their story on returning to the fort, and soon about 150 Mormons and other miners flocked to the site, which was named Mormon Island. This was the first major gold strike in California after James W. Marshall's discovery at Coloma. The population of the town in 1853 was more than 2,500. It had four hotels, three dry-goods stores, five general merchandise stores, an express office, and many small shops. The first ball in Sacramento County was held here on December 25, 1849. A fire destroyed the town in 1856, and it was never rebuilt. Its site was inundated by Folsom Lake in 1955.<br /><br />Plaque placed by Sacramento County Daughters of Utah Pioneers, in cooperation with California State Park Commission, September 14, 1957<br /> <h4>Second plaque text:</h4> Mormon Island<br /><br />This marker is in honored remembrance of the Mormon Battalion's sacrifice for our national defense.

In the spring of 1855, t he U.S. Secretary of War (and soon to be Confederate President) Jefferson Davis, sent the Navy storeship "Supply" to Northern Africa to purchase camels for the American Southwest. The Army wanted to augment cavalry with a pack animal that would function better in harsh environment. The Americans who went to purchase the camels were assisted in 1857 by Mimico Teodora ("Mico") Hagiatis Yannaco ("Long Tom"), Anastasio Corali ("Short Tom") along with Hadji Ali ("Hi Jolly"), and George Caralambo ("Greek George"). Eventually, they all arrived in Fort Defiance, N.M., where they found that the 'Camel Corps' had inadequate funding. Soon, everyone but 'Hi Jolly' and 'Greek George' left. After several years of being shuffled around, the Army decided the camels were too expensive and in November 1863, sold the camels to Samuel McLeneghan in Nevada. The camels, which were sued to carry freight to the Comstock Lode, were still accompanied by 'Hi Jolly' and 'Greek George'. After most of the Silver was mined out of the Comstock Lode in1865, McLeneghan took the camels to Fort Yuma to sell. On the way to Fort Yuma, McLeneghan died and "Greek George" and "Hi Jolly" decided to turn the camels loose. They occasionally were seen wandering in the desert. Greek George changed his name to "George Allen", became a citizen, and settled in Whittier. His tombstone, until recently, was located at the Pio Pico mansion. <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> This is the grave of 'Greek George,' a camel driver from Asia Minor who came to the United States with the second load of camels purchased by the War Department as an experiment to open a wagon road to Fort Tejón from Fort Defiance, New Mexico. Because of the Civil War, the experiment was abandoned. 'Greek George' became a naturalized citizen in 1867 under the name of George Allen. He built an adobe home on Santa Monica Boulevard. <p></p> Registered 5/29/1958 Graves http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/08102e68ea61796771e0da2c6db31d18.jpg c5a930fcbe846fb8bfd62bd0100f9a80 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1403832aecb50ade31662afd1925c83b.jpg 3df5dc44a834234cb1cde80255748857 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Prior to European contact, the Yana population numbered approximately 3,000. In 1865 Ishi and his family were the victims of the Three Knolls Massacre, from which approximately 30 Yahi survived. The remaining Yahi escaped but were forced into hiding after cattlemen killed about half of the survivors. Eventually all of Ishi's companions died, and he was discovered by a group of butchers in their corral at Oroville, August 29, 1911. Alfred L. Kroeber and T. T.

Approximately 120,000 persons were uprooted from their West Coast homes and interred in ten War Relocation Centers. Over two-thirds were American citizens by birth. Given the opportunity, many thousands left the ten centers to work on farms and in war industries or to serve with valor in the armed forces. Their acts and deeds gave living proof that Americanism is a matter of mind and heart, not a matter of race or ancestry. May this memorial remind all Americans to be alert so that such injustices never recur.<br /><br />Camp Kohler succeeded Walerga Assembly Center with the departure of the last Japanese American internees in late June 1942. After being taken over by the Army Signal Corp, the camp’s facilities were greatly expanded to house and train military personnel. Camp Kohler became one of the Corps’ three principle training centers during World War II. <p></p> Registered 5/13/1980 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1369cbab516b8060df17b3fce9be865f.JPG 8321bf6b4e10f36bb426aff71839085a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/787e0b78e20972d4b50dd34d57148cd0.JPG e533eb028b3b25a72fec0f985210f927 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/56469e14b9409c68431a3732776de620.JPG fa39e2d8a2e5869b28cf8b7a279ea58a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Only enough bees survived to fill one hive, but these quickly propagated, laying the foundation for California’s modern beekeeping industry.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with E Clampus Vitus Mountain Charlie chapter 1850, and in honor of San Jose City Historian Clyde Arbuckle.&nbsp; March 6, 1982 <p></p> Registered 9/15/1981 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/6cc542b0fcbde9a734f989ee59e6f511.jpg de03b49fbcf19e908180239161a3595c http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/2cdc19c1dfb8dc083d3c1aeb7f984d60.JPG fe8eb7fe7cad46847f0306e355b5027b http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/183e7b2f8a23ea1a20918726318c4e48.JPG f976b8e4b6889b55005d01c21556eb1a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/0d5c6682ef527428a38d6fd67d600efc.JPG 3a677106ef4cd0180f648e77e5131692 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/b275d1f5e6b98c742f8775f9aa5f5e52.JPG 5af8f5debb52afcaa7aa18b3d4567585 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/65c5536dedf91d8084e9834294d39c82.JPG 8f53306e988c951cf41d6e3203c1d31e http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/23865ffa86cdd8cfd60c072d20015a81.JPG 984118575c005225df7d534868cdad76 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/a65ece707ac7faec631b0d2db179ca18.JPG b627b4f7c86c9bb8d7f969ad808af5d5 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/56358ea4714ec81bf9cac1cd774ccc08.JPG f25bf20607995a034766852a44a0e0ca http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/5d3e76357c96243d5d8061ac712d87ce.JPG 7c1fd698b0de37abd80e4dfb6ca4b99b http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/34f9ec5daf996bdaa89fad918174368f.JPG b01d6783482d1cc78bf08fac664fbe56 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/a28f17b6893ad5c64dd1d72bccad5502.JPG d15d3f3447fea4b33a2919fb7bf408e0 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/bd5964a5fe92ac5b1b14387ecb01ce5c.JPG 37c8e65d111109888f5132387d315f2a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/6f50a6000f5b4e1f15a9cb08ce7f4f63.JPG f86b562586afc78dea1265f3c8b9c56d http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/246b497db14161a8bd6f5e91a570a5c3.JPG c994a18ca1b933531f5435542ba32c1b http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/db5a68c07c6f0289e424224defcd424e.JPG 48ae8f831f79f8afc1d52cdc71aa6c8a http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/367283536d9981da974c92b804ccad2e.JPG 51c477c7f92de3167a286a880c244b66 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1ef7ae40292245ec0abc8bc22ed80932.JPG 6aad9c8a3e495176a749925e315d93aa http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/c5fa5869b823c0eec4b19a56a9227753.JPG 1b9ff43c27ea51d01318501aceb29058 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/14569d7da27a051a78a5791769ec105a.JPG de6119e3075272910eac00f547f6527b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The distinctive arrowhead shape is visible because the white sage, which grows inside the Arrowhead, contrasts sharply with the darker chaparral vegetation outside. Many fires have burned the landmark resulting in gully erosion. Check dams have been constructed in an effort to slow down the erosion process and help protect and preserve the Arrowhead outline. Bushes were planted on the outline for this same reason.<br /><br />Friends of the Arrowhead, Inc. <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> Located in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains directly above the City of San Bernardino, the arrowhead landmark can be seen for miles around. This important landmark has for centuries been a symbol of the San Bernardino Valley to the Native Indians and then to the pioneers and settlers that followed. It is believed to be a natural landmark. The face of the arrowhead consists of light quartz, supporting a growth of short white sage. This lighter vegetation shows in sharp contrast to the surrounding chaparral and greasewood. Indians who inhabited the San Bernardino Valley believed that the arrowhead pointed the way to the hot mineral springs below, with healing qualities, and thus considered it holy ground. Through the years, numerous forest fires have caused some erosion. But the arrowhead landmark continues to preserve its uniqueness and remains a symbol of the 'pioneer spirit' of the San Bernardino Valley. <p></p> http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1cb8978e6ebaf435ec80f89c91e8dd11.JPG a13cb3bdac43c47faf91d42611f19114 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/3c896bb8cc81e4ffdcb30cb403eafb92.JPG 1bf2651267e2256e3d041fbbe24cdff0 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/e3941ccb9601b9db375b5061d4b92548.JPG 7dbd4ea6de5aa955d5acd68d37d87431 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/a36f3178c618a66e27c6b9d0feba08e3.JPG 3fa327da05b7d987a6fa792ad542e4e0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A bloody clash occurred at the Durst Ranch on August 3, 1913, climaxing growing tensions brought about by the difficult conditions farm laborers at the ranch endured. The riot resulted in four deaths and many injuries. It focused public opinion for the first time on the plight of California's agricultural laborers, and resulted in new state legislation to regulate labor camp conditions. A new State Commission on Immigration and Housing was created to help improve working conditions. Beyond that, the Wheatland Hop Riot was the first major farm labor confrontation in California and the harbinger of decades of attempts to organize or control agricultural labor. <p></p> Registered 5/8/1991 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/39bd01c97204dc763f0242c6ef67edd0.JPG 9b46af0c829e8aeb93acc1a1e3742437 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/33caa05b583deb2b8bd1de68444c8300.JPG 6b8155870e52edda2bdfa4822f13d624 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/bfe543c75317be331e454abff57635e0.JPG 226b0eea82e0efc28ff050e6b97e4550 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was one of the first facilities of its kind in the western U.S. and played a major role in developing California’s mental health system. In the early 1970’s, the focus of the center shifted from treating patients with mental disabilities to training people with developmental disabilities. This served to spearhead the movement to provide services outside the institutional setting.

William Bundensen, Grand President <p></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OHP description:</span></h4> In 1989 the Point Arena Light Station was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its statewide significance in the area of maritime history. Coastal traffic increased substantially during the 1860s, and heavy storms and fogs often made trips along the coast treacherous. The first buildings at the station were constructed in 1870 and were destroyed in 1906 during the San Francisco Earthquake. At that time the U. S. Lighthouse Service decided to use reinforced concrete in the light house replacement. Prior to this, reinforced concrete had not been employed in the construction of a California lighthouse. Thus, when the Point Arena Lighthouse began operation in 1908, it became the first lighthouse of reinforced concreted in the State. Strikingly situated between the Pacific Ocean to the west and rolling farmland on the east, the Point Arena Light Station retains the character and appearance of one hundred years ago. <p></p> lighthouse http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/0d003c373aeb05fab17262569ef889ca.JPG f0914d8ed0f85c0016056646716a1653 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/9e59fa180ac42eb3208a8357fad4c7a5.JPG 02c9702739850d1cdc15fad14e51a407 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/b08026d09ce53d50901078e2b387774f.JPG 8eda2ac2b1eba722f5caafff389301e4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Lightship WLV 605 was built by the Rice Brothers Shipyard in Boothbay, Maine, and was one of six lightships constructed by the Coast Guard. She was commissioned in 1951 and served at Overfalls lightship station off Delaware coast. In 1959 she was transferred to the Blunts Reef station off Cape Mendocino, where she served until 1969. In 1969 she was assigned as “Relief” for all West Coast lightship stations. She was retired from duty in 1975, and decommissioned the following year. The WLV-605 is one of a small number of only 22 surviving American lightships in the United States and she is the last lightship in California. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. <p></p> Registered 9/26/2003 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/cc176a4c37019f2e96dc817949026fc3.JPG a6deb492b8868ceac6373ebc37435127 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/7de4b3ffe59fb87ed6b2dcb5e135a7cc.JPG 097738ab1507b50afd0036421030fc11 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It stands as the prized jewel of the county whose people it serves and whose visitors it delights. After the devastating earthquake of 1925, the county of Santa Barbara hired the William Mooser company to design a new home for county government. The building was competed in August 1929 at a cost of $1.3 million and is the culmination of community spirit, county leadership and the will of a people to express their historic roots.

Most were drawn to agriculture in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, since those flat expanses were similar to the Punjab. The 1915 temple was one of the first religious centers for Indians in the United States. A replacement temple was constructed in 1930 and the 1915 building is used as the temple library. The temple helped maintain Punjabi traditions and to establish better understanding of the Sikh people by the community at large. Many events at the temple, and the temple's charity kitchen, were open to all, regardless of religion or nationality. Stockton's Sikh Temple is still an important institution for many Sikhs that remain in the region. <p></p> http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/9b19d07a77e150976ab2dfc6dbe22fd7.JPG 9ea770b53f5c5e2eb5302793e85d2a1f http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/44c43840e30262341520ffd9800e24d0.JPG b04b7248195fe9ae76f67941ad6bcc79 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/e1c61980603925158f12e945968f72b0.JPG 8aecd37574dce6a95e09ca3f3b378392 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Salmon caught in the Sacramento River were canned by the cooker-boiler method, rather than the salt preservation method commonly used at that time. The new process allowed for wider markets and lower prices.

There are some informational signs about the area located around the park grounds. <h4>OHP information:</h4> The Palace of Fine Arts consists of a building and four structures in a park in the Marina District in San Francisco. Originally conceived in 1913 for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and completed in 1913, designed by architect Bernard Maybeck as a forgotten and overgrown Roman ruin. Intended as a temporary installation, the citizens of San Francisco engaged in heroic efforts to retain the Palace, the only surviving building of the 1915 exhibition. The Palace quickly became recognized as one of California's most beautiful buildings, despite its lack of function and temporary nature. A long-term project, planned in the 1950s and begun in the 1960s, reconstructed the Palace in its current permanent form, a project completed in 1974.
