Vallejo detained in revolt 150 years ago
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[290]
[ECHOS-1996-290]
By the 1840s, the Mexican hold on California was weakening.

Second of two parts Last week we looked at the beginnings of Collinsville, founded by the notorious Hastings as a new frontier for a group of Mormons. The Mormons never arrived, but a settlement of farmers and fisherman was established. The land changed hands and was the product of a huge land scam. In two years the scam unraveled and the town was sold to Emory Irving Upham.
