My grandfather's grandfather (Charles Wood) emigrated from Concord Massachusetts to California in 1852, via the Nicargua route. My grandfather knew this story well - and even visited Nicaragua to better appreciate the experience. After arriving in California, my Great Great Grandfather and his brother worked in the foothills selling goods to miners and served as guides between San Francisco and the Gold Country. He eventually established a farm and ranching operation in Danville, and while no longer in operation, many of the buildings remain on the remaining acreage. Prior to this article, I did not realize that going via Nicaragua meant steam ships were used, I had assumed it was sailing vessels.

The Monroe Doctrine. In California at that time, the federal government paid $2 per Indian scalp. God bless.

Not the ones that declared for Mexico. They fled to below the modern border. The others had to swear fealty and they became citizens!
