S2 Ep13 Letters From California - The Farthest West June 1846
Manage episode 357299776 series 2866377
Letters from California
Three letters, were anonymously mailed from the Pueblo de Yerba Buena, dated between June 10th and June 29th 1846. The letters were, and probably still are, quite the mystery, not only because no one definitively knows who wrote them, but for the depth of military knowledge the writer had about the happenings in Alta California.
Another point of personal interest, the letters were written from our own backyard, Yerba Buena.
Hubert Howe Bancroft considers these mystery letters to be the best ‘in the moment’ account of the Bear Flag Revolt, and they are the earliest known publication regarding the Bear Flag Revolt just before and just after the Revolt.
