FRIDAY FISH MARKET

4-8PM LIVE MUSIC, WALKIN THE PIER, WATCHIN FISHIN, PIRATES COVE IN THE BACKGROUND.

BIN READIN BOUT BOUCHON PIRATE OF ARGENTINA WHO CAPTURES MUTINEERS IN HAWAII AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO CALIFORNIA TO RAID MISSIONS AND FORTS. JOSEPH CHAPMAN WAS ONE OF THOSE MUTINEERS WHO WAS FINALLY RELEASED/ (?) ESCAPED THRU CUNNING AND CHARM... AND BECAME THE FIRST YANKEE IN CALIFORNIA. HE MARRIED GUADALUPE ORTEGA, DAUGHTER OF THE ORTEGAS OWNERS OF LAND GRANTS RANCHOS REFUGIO AND VIRGENES. CHAPMANS HAD MANY CHILDREN. HIS BRAND WAS AN X WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE HE DIDNT HAVE AN EDUCATION BUT WAS STILL QUITE CLEVER. PROBABLE BUILT THE FIRST SHIP IN CA AND DEFINATELY INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING OF SANTA INEZ MISSION, SAN GABRIAL MISSION AND THE FIRST CHURCH OF LA
NO WONDER CG IS STUCK HERE. ITS IN THE JEANS.

JEDEDIAH SMITH WAS THE FIRST YANK OVER LAND. BOTH GUYS WERE HIGHLY UN- US-U-ALL. SOME CAME TO CALIFORNIA TO HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDUM AND THE OTHERS CAME FOR FREEDUM OF RELIGION.


ANIMAL PLANET MS. ADVENTURE VERY FUNNY.
