Description
What was the arc of history from the Mexican War of 1846-1848 to Victorian San Diego? Who settled here after the annexation of California by the United States? Join local archaeologist and historian Richard L. Carrico as he takes us down the dirt roads and trails that turned into concrete highways. The effects of statehood on indigenous and Hispanic people, our back country gold rush, the transition from large ranchos such as San Bernardo, and much, much more will be discussed. As an extra sidelight, Richard will describe locales and sites where you can visit the past including historic buildings, cultural centers, and wineries. This lecture is part three of a three part series.
