On this journey, I explore one of America’s lesser-known battlefields, which saw fighting take place as part of the Mexican-American War. This war was from 1846-1848 throughout the modern-day southwest United States and involved American soldiers, Californios (natives of California of Spanish descent), and native Americans.

From December 6-10, 1846, a series of small engagements between American forces under command of General Stephen Kearny and Californio forces under command of Andrés Pico were fought in a valley north of San Diego. Today, this is known as the Battle of San Pasqual.

Join me as I explore California’s bloodiest battle and discuss some history of the Mexican-American War!
