CORRECTION MAP.*- Historic points in January, 1847. 



1. — Commodore Stockton's headquarters, January 10 to 14, 18-t7. [See page 100.] 



2. — Stockton's troops encamped on the plaza. 



3. — Col. Fremont's headquarters while Governor of California, in a two-story adobe house owned by Alexander 



Bell, uncle to Maj. HoraceBell, editor of the Los Angeles " Porcupine." 

 4. — An old one-story adobe house owned by Pio Pico, whose son-in-law, Jose Moreno, lived there. House still 

 standing. Pico himself had lodgings and an office there in later years, and hence many supposed that 

 that was where he lived when he was governor. He had bought this place from the heirs of Don Juan 

 Marine^ who died in 1S39. [See page 71.] 

 5. — Residence of Pio Pico while he was Governor. Mrs. Pico still held and occupied this mansion in 1846-47, 

 while her husband was ab?ent in Mexico. Stephen Foster tried to rent her house for the government, 

 for use as army hospital, but she would not consent, fearing if she did it would be held as "surren- 

 dered," and BO taken from her: then he secured the building on Upper Main near Ord street, marked 9. 

 6.— Headquarters and barracks of Lieut. Gillespie, where the "battle of Los Angeles" was fought. September 



23, 1846. [See p. 83.] The same buildings were occupied by Col. Fremont's troops, Jan'y and Feb'y, 1847. 

 7. — Adobe buildings occupied by Col. Stevenson's troops, 1847. This structure was afterward used as county 



and city jail. 

 S. — Adobe building occupied by Quartermaster's department, 1847. 



9. — Adobe building used as military hospital — now all torn away. [The figure 9 should be nearer to Ord St.] 

 10. — Residence of Jose Antonio Carrillo. 



1 1. — Residence of Jose Sepulveda. The present Pico hotel stands on these two lots. 

 12. — Residence of Manuel Garfias. a Mexican Lieut. Col. in the battles of January 8, 9, 1847, and owner of Rancho 



San Pascual. [Seepage 73, footnote.] 

 I'i. — B. D. Wilson's store ; the two old iron cannon were planted there in 1849, and are there yet. [See p. 84; 335.] 

 14. — Abel Stearns's corners, where were planted in 1849 the two old iron cannon which now lie at west front of 



court house. 

 15. — Old church at the plaza, for which the original roof -timbers were gotten out by the Yankee " pirate prisoner," 

 Joe Chapman in 1818-19. from Millard's and Grand canyon, within a mile down from the Alpine Tavern 

 on Alpine section of the Mt. Lowe Railway. [See pages 43 to 52, and page 385.) 

 16. — The " Fort," which was commenced by Gov. Micheltorena in 1844 ; used by Lieut. Gillespie in Septembert 

 1846 ; built in proper military form by Col. Fremont in January, 1847 ; further improved by Col. Steven- 

 son the same year. Now entirely obliterated. 



I prepared the above diagram from information furnished me at different times by the following old-time 

 Californians, who are still living : Hon. Stephen C. Foster, aged 74; Francisco Garcia, 114 on May 1, 1895; 

 G. W. Robinson, 86 ; Elijah Moulton, 74 ; Thedore Rimpau, 69 ; Jose Perez, 63 : Pio Zabaleta, 62 ; Judge B. S. 

 Eaton, 72 ; Dr. John S. Griffin, 79 ; besides printed records, and my own examination of " Fremont's Redout" 

 in December, 1883. 



For six weeks before this chapter IV was printed I had been trying to find Hon. 

 Stephen C. Foster, to obtain his verdict on some matters which I had written here, 

 upon information received from four old Spanish and two old American residents. Mr. 

 Foster had served as government interpreter at Los Angeles in 1847, and all its business 

 with Spanish people was done through him ; then in 1848-49 he was the **alcalde'* or 

 mayor and civil judge of Los Angeles ; and on these old historic matters he is the best 

 posted man living. My letters to him at Downey failed ; and many inquiries for him 

 at the court house, and at the City Clerk*s oflBce, and at the City Library failed, until 

 after the matter as then written had to go to press. But three days afterward I found 

 him, and learned that my previous informants were in error on several points ; and I 



* The cut on page 102 was made for the "Land of Sunshine," but was first printed in my pages. 

 Then X discovered its error before they were ready to print it, and hence prepared and furnished them 

 -Vbis Correction Map instead. See "Land of Sunshine" for October, 1S95; page 222.
