In the 1970s, there was grass, brush, and weeds as high as the stone. We had to push through to read what was on the stones. Later in college history class at Chapman College we discussed the battle. It was felt although the USA was not a clear winner, they won in the end and the pre-colonial new world people were the real losers even tough they were not part of the fight. And that was true both above the border and below in Mexico.

The Battle of San Pasqual, also spelled San Pascual, was a military encounter that occurred during the Mexican-American War in what is now the San Pasqual Valley community of the city of San Diego, California. The series of military skirmishes ended with both sides claiming victory, and the victor of the battle is still debated.[3] On December 6 and December 7, 1846, General Stephen W. Kearny's US Army of the West, along with a small detachment of the California Battalion led by a Marine Lieutenant, engaged a small contingent of Californios and their Presidial Lancers Los Galgos (The Greyhounds), led by Major Andrés Pico. After U.S. reinforcements arrived, Kearny's troops were able to reach San Diego

When I first arrived on this site, I though it was a Native Indian Battle Ground, in which I was wrong. During my recording I experience heavy winds that caused audio interference, so in order to correct these errors I added music. The video is currently being edited..

When I was liveing in San Pasqual in the fiftys.. the battle feild seemed to be in a different place? went over it with a metal detector! - found nothing! Was the site moved after more research was done?? Starting to wonder if my mind was playing tricks on me!? Also explored an indian encampment farther down the, road! and copied the heroglyphics! I know that for a fact wasn't moved! It was in a grove of oak trees.., with a nearly underground spring of water!

I use a small camcorder, arch my arm upwards and maintain slow pace walk. At the same time I'm maintaining my balance, proper breathing and looking at camcorder screen. When I conduct a still shoot I maintain filming as long as possible. When I'm done filming I use basic editing to chop-up sequences and then put all in order time frame. I'm about to upload a video in this to show everyone how easy it is without spending hundreds on equipment & software that's no necessary. I'm not claiming I'm soft expert, but I know I have better video shots then some of these YBrs

'If it wasn't for Our chief Panto lion , The Americans "Kearney and his Guests" Would of Been Dead" In the Hands of the Californios" General Kearny did not know he was dealing with Master Caballeros and great horsemanship at that time- Sixteen americans were, killed 22 wounded "--when pantos daughter looked down he saw the americans in bad shape'.thats when she told her dad Panto lion". ' and he ordered meeting asking'.. Our people to help the americans ' our warriors said "yes'. so at darkness .'.Our chief "panto lion" sent a message to The mexican chief' bother the Americans no more' or we will help them go and ' bury your dead'.. Ponto lion gave the Americans artillery and supplies to go back to L.A. where they did and captured -L.A. in 1847 the Native Tongva territory.
