From the Author
How California was 'conquered' by American forces in 1846.
BEAR FLAG RISING is about one of the forgotten episodes in American history: how California fell into American hands in 1846. The "conquest" of Mexico's Alta California began before "Mr. Polk's War" with Mexico was declared, when a handful of American settlers in the Sacramento Valley staged a revolt in the town of Sonoma, raised the Bear Flag standard in the town plaza and proclaimed the vast territory's independence. Soon after this near-bloodless coup, American naval forces arrived to make the civilian rising a military reality. Central to the story is the interaction between three men divided over an ostensibly common purpose--the conquest of California: Commodore Robert Stockton of the Navy, the explorer John C. Fremont, and Army General Stephen W. Kearny.
