Synopsis "Rancho Suscol: California's Forgotten Rancho"

Rancho Suscol was a Mexican land grant given to General Mariano Vallejo in 1843 that encompassed approximately 80,000 acres, including what are now Benicia, Vallejo, American Canyon, southern Napa County, and Green Valley. The story of the rancho includes many significant people who resided on the land, as well as important structures. These individuals influenced the development and use of the land.This book provides an overview of the phases California land policies underwent from the time of Native Americans through the American period. It touches on the Spanish Empire, the romance of the California missions, the gigantic ranchos, the American conquest, honest and not-so-honest lawyers, men and women of courage and foresight, and the settlement of large areas of the West.It also addresses the destruction of entire Indigenous ways of life due to disease and social disruption. The evil of slavery touched the ranchos, as did the heroism that helped bring it to an end. The Supreme Court played a role in determining ownership of the land.
