S5 E3 Part 1 March 1847

This is March 1847, Part One—the beginning of Yerba Buena’s transformation into an American town. In this episode, we examine a town meeting, the rise and disappearance of “Parson” J.G.T. Dunleavy, calls to establish a public school, and challenging Californio's Mexican land-grant system. We also discuss how American settlers and Californio landowners viewed the same landscape through different legal traditions. [email protected] (email me directly)monkeyblocksf.buzzsprout.com (for transcripts and cited sources)buymeacoffee.com/monkeyblocksf (support the podcast)twitter.com/monkeyblocksf (follow me)facebook.com/MonkeyBlockSF (follow me)
