Day 47 (2013-02-16)
Sonoma Barracks at Sonoma Plaza, Sonoma CA
Before dawn on Sunday, June 14, 1846, Commandante-General Mariano Vallejoand his family were awakened in their Casa Grande on the plaza of Sonoma by 33 rebels.
Vallejo did not speak English and the guerrilla leader, Ezekiel Merritt, did hardly better in Spanish. Neither the language barrier nor early hour caused Vallejo to forget his manners, though, and he invited Merritt inside to talk. After all, Vallejo reasoned, he knew that the military barracks next door had no soldiers, and his rusted cannon had no ammunition, so what could be lose by being friendly?

Sonoma Barracks at Sonoma Plaza, Sonoma CA
Sonoma\\'s double storied adobe barracks became the home for various contingents of United States soldiers, sailors, and militiamen. Volunteer Captain John E. Brackett was in command in 1847 when Alcalde John H. Nash refused to surrender his justice-of-the-peace-type position to Lilburn W. Boggs. This was a direct challenge to the authority of the Colonel Richard B. Mason, the military governor. Brackett asked to be excused from forcing the issue; be said that the people who favored Nash might take revenge when Brackett left the service and settled in Sonoma.
