Item description from seller

256pp. Octavo [24.5 cm] red cloth with title and rules gilt stamped on the front board and backstrip. Fine. A historical detective and courtroom drama that analyzes the fate of the land we now know as Camp Pendleton of the U.S. Marine Corps, one of our nation's largest military bases. The approximately 208 square-mile rancho was California's largest confirmed land grant when Andres and Pio Pico went to court with Pio's godson and Andres' son-in-law, Juan Forster, over ownership. Gray unearthed contemporary documents not used at the trial which bring a relevancy and fresh perspective to modern readers. Clark & Brunet 111.
