My Bro in California

Just to keep all of you up to date: my brother is out of town this weekend to be at a historical conference in Los Angeles. He wrote a paper a couple of years back on something called the Native California Cavalry and recieved an award for it. Apparently, this group also wants to give him some recognition for writing about Californio history. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is going to be there, I'm not sure if he is the one doing the "recognizing."


Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

What if the half that cares about it is the lower half making it hard to type anything with his toes? :O

Actually, it was an event for Hispanic Heritage month entitiled "Hispanics in the Civil War." It comemorated not only the Native California Cavalry, but also Admiral Faragut and a fellow named Ayala who was the first Mexican-American in the USMC. He signed up at Mare Island in 1862.
