1821 FLASHBACK
Fidencio    (Shouting as he drives up) Don Rumaldo! There is a meeting at the Plaza! México has declared war on the gachupines!

    (The whole family runs outside)

Fidencio    (Out of breath). El cura de Guanajuato is leading an army to México City to overthrow the viceroy.  Mayor Soto got a letter and is going to read it in the Plaza  to let everybody know.

Armida    Come in, Fidencio. Please sit down and have some dinner.

Fidencio    Thank you, señora.             

Rumaldo    What are the rabble rousers after?

        (Close up. Fidencio takes out a copy of a pamphlet,  El Despertador Americano Dissolve  to Mayor speaking before the crowd at the Plaza. It is late afternoon. )

Mayor    Iturrigaray has been thrown out, and replaced by the Archbishop of Mexico. Our destiny no longer depends on the viceroy—its in our hands. Now we can run our own country and don't have to pay taxes. Aguascalientes,  Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí are all up in arms.

        (Dissolve to local Indians burning down a church, looting pillaging, priests are running, women screaming, etc).

    The population is gathered at La placita. There are Mexican flags and bunting.

        The Spaniards have surrendered and the Ejército Trigarante has entered the Aztec capital. Now is the hour to declare our loyalty to our country.

    There is a ceremony in which the Spanish flag is lowered and the Mexican flag is raised.

        
        
        Viva México!    

    The fireworks show to celebrate independence.

Sola is elected. The church is still loyal to spain and doesnt accept independence. Sola insults and threatens the priesat so he leaves in a huff. El canonigo de durango arrives with pomp to make the church heel. The spanish flag goes down, the mexican flag goes up.

Manuel gutierrez becomes the first mayor. He was jj dominguez mayordom. He renounces his loyalty to spain, then is electe (ceremony).

LUPE IS BORN
1830 Lupe is born
1845            
Dissolve to Old grandmother, wearing habitual black lace mantilla, but without a peineta,  talking to her granddaughter Lupe who is about 15.  Walking along the ranch toward the river. There are horses about in a corral.

    (Live  flashbacks over dialog showing Julia and Rigoberto.).

Grandmother    
        It was during a cattle drive. Juan José Domínguez was taking a thousand cattle from San Diego to Los Angeles, when your great grandmotherJulia saw Rigoberto. It was a flechazo. She had never seen a prettier man in her life, and she made up her mind.

Lupe    To do what, abuela?

Grandmother    
        Well, you know how women do. She made sure he went to church so they could meet there. You think church is just for praying? In no time at all they were married. There was no stopping Doña Julia when she made up her mind. Damn my Mother in law was stubborn.

Grandmother    
        They had to get married twice, once by the church and once by the Chumash ceremony. Then they built this house.

A horse and carriage come up a lane which is lined with oak trees.
Juana talks about the gossip of the day- withoput understanding; spies, gringos, etc
Los gringos son como los espanoles
no they're much worse- they're Protestants
there's a strong bond between the grandmother and the little girl
they talk about love

Dogs come out to greet them. They have arrived at an old Colonial style ranch house with cool interiors, while outside is the semi-desert heat. There are servants and ranch hands about, some with Indians features and some with African features. There are people in the parlor.

Priest     Soto  is power-hungry. Two fanegas of corn! They've always charged one, and now they doubled it! Where is it going to stop? Next they will be asking for church lands to pay off taxes.

Rumaldo    Monseñor, don't forget we have to build up a school. The road to the river gets impassable during flooding, and there are bridges to be built.

    (Close up of the two men conspiratorially)

        I'll put in a word to the governor to help you with your new school also. . After all you Jesuits give the best service to the Lord, and he won't say no.

The grandmother and Juana come in.

Grandmother    
        Buenas tardes.

Priest    There's Lupe! (Smiles, to Rumaldo) You're starting to look like a father in law. (Pinches her cheek, to her embarrassment).

        (Rumaldo and priest go outside to the waiting carriage).
The church is always complaining that indians and mexicans encroach on their lands- squatters. NO LEDA VEWRGUENZA, PADRE. You have lands all the way to san bernardino.
Those lands belong to go
etc.

Rumaldo    I hope you'll attend the community meeting. Governor de Borica is going to make the announcement. They're going to distribute free sheep and land to encourage wool production. That will certainly bring in a tidy sum to the Mission. (Teasing) You can even supply wool to your Russian friends.

Priest    Uhhhhhhh (smacks lips disapprovingly) I don't have any Russian friends.

Rumaldo    Sorry, father. (laughs).

    (Lupe standing in the entryway, watching.)

Rumaldo    And now,  what were doing down by the river by yourself?

Lupe    I wasn't by myself, I was with mi abuelita.

Rumaldo    Mmmmm. (Joking) Your abuelita isnt going to protect you from those indios. They'll carry you off and well never see you again.

Armida appears in entryway.

Armida    Rumaldo, don't forget my grandfather was a full blooded Chumash. Stop talking nonsense and come and eat.

(Seated at table are Armida, Rumaldo, Julia and her three brothers).
Discussion around dinneer table-
gachupines
no les digas gachupines

tomasa saays they have a piano the came from europe somewhere,

Rumaldo    Armida, I want you to pack for a trip to the puerto tomorrow. A ship has arrived from Perú and we need to buy things for the ranch.

Lupe    Can I come too? I want a manton de Manila!

Brother 1    And I want a sombrero cordobés!

Brother 2     What are you going to do with a sombrero cordobés. You'll look like a fool.

Brother 1    Not as much as a fool as that sombrero the paja  you're always carrying around.

    (They start wrestling)

Rumaldo    THAT'S ENOUGH! You wont go to the fiestas patrias.

    (The boys stop instantly)



Fiesta in the plaza on 16 of sept. 1845

        Viva Mexico!

        (The crowd responds. There is candelight all over the Plaza. People are selling antojitos cooked over charcoal burners. The Ortega family, dressed elegantly, move among the crowd. Jacinto follows them trying not to be noticed, looking at Lupe. She knows he's there but pretends not to see him.)

        We ran for our lives.  They set up some kind of  Flag up                        their saying that the owned the territory.

Hotel customer    was it like this? (Holds up a drawing of the Bear flag)

Sra Aguayo    That's it!  I swear it's the work of the devil.    


Sra Aguayo    I told   Demetrio that the Yankees were up to something. Francisquita said that Anacleto had told her that they were getting ready for war. General Castro even went so far as to get the Indians in Sacramento to surround the Yankees settlements and burn them down if necessary, and expel the gringos.

Don Aguayo    (laughing). What was his name.. Sootrer, sother, what names they have!

Dona Aguayo    I don't see there's anything to laugh about. Can you believe it?  They wanted to have their own state!

Don aguayo    Then they came up with  that stupid flag with the cochino on it.    

Dona Aguayo    República de California. What  Nerve! We already have a Republic.  What you think we fought 17 years for?  My grandfather died fighting thew gachupines  and now this.

Dona Aguayo    Oh!  And I forgot! They raise the stars and stripes over the fort.

(Dissolved to the meeting at City Hall)

Manuel Victoria
        Gentlemen of call you in today because we had to discuss an important matter.  There are rumors that Americans are moving down from Sonoma, and others are coming our way of Yuma Pass to San Diego.  We need to meet with them and see what they want.  If they come in peace we will be happy to do business with them.

 Pico,     Governor R. You're planning to run again?

Carrillo      With all respect sir, you don't have the votes .

Pico        What we need now is to fight the Yankees, not to appease them.  Everybody is talking about how they surrounded general Vallejo's house and arrested  everybody in the middle of the night.  You can't get any votes by trying to have talks with them. .  The people are storing guns and  other weapons knives everything they can get their hands on and hiding them  in their homes.

Bandini       This is not the time for negotiations.  We are going to be attacked.  We have to form a strong defense

Victoria    Gentlemen,  gentlemen,   please.  I hoped to get your endorsement.  Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Pico  walks around the table posts his hands on Echandia's shoulders.
Before he can speak, there is a severe earthquake.  Everyone rushes outdoorswhere the streets are full of people. Jacinta is crying hysterically.

Lupe     there now shhhhh it's over.  Their is nothing to worry about.  See? Nothing fell down.

Jainta    father Olmedo said it was the devil trying to get out.(this sets off a new wave of tears)

Pico        (In Carrillo's ear) God has spoken.  Manual will never be mayor again. (They chuckle).

The naval force is under the command of  Captain Archibald Guillespie, at the same time  that the troops of  General Kearney advance from New Mexico.

In Los Angeles there is a defense group headed by Jose Maria Flowers, that pursues and corners the gringos. In spite of being badly armed, they beat Guillespie and make him surrender.
            
    1845  - Some  of  the  ranches established at this time are; Los  Alamos,  El  Encino, Santa Catalina, La Puente, San Fernando, Potrero Grande, San Francisquito.
        The  Missionaries  consider  the  religious conversion of the Indians top priority. Public officials feel that the Missions are  subordinate to the Presidios and the towns. Missionaries continue to be loyal to Spain,  while  the  secular  majority remains loyal to México.
        The  National  Government  withdraws  Manuel Micheltorena and confirms  Pío  Pico  as  governor,  with  Los  Angeles, which has  the  largest  population,  as the Capital. The people of Monterey,  always  fighting  to control the governorship, the representatives,  taxes  and the military, protest. An   agreement  is reached so that while Los Angeles takes control of the governor and the Legislature, Monterey may keep control of  customs and the military.
        In  front  of  Elysian  Park, there is a system of canals dug to  supply water to the ranches.  The canals are the property of  all the people. Crops are; corn, beans, barley and wheat, besides   chile,  squash,  coriander  and  melon. There is an increase in herds of horses and cattle. There is a commercial  exchange  with  the  pagan,  (not Christianized) Indians, who are  used  to  trading  between  California, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona.
        Class   distinctions   develop,   based   on   the   economic exploitation of the Indians by Mexican ranchers.

He  is  ordered  to remain in Guaymas and Hermosillo. Charles Frémont  incites  a  revolt  in San Fernando. U.S. colonizers proclaim a false republic in Sonoma. Los  Angeles and other towns are occupied. Popular resistance breaks out all over the State.  Stockton leaves a garrison under Gillespie's orders to occupy  Los Angeles.  Gillespie  arbitrarily  humiliates the population  and  arrests  many  innocent  citizens,  treating them like an inferior race.

Servulio Varela and Leonardo Cota organize a popular uprising against  the  military occupation  of the  U.S.  Americans. Half  the  population  signs a proclamation that states  that the  U.S.  Americans want to subjugate Mexicans into slavery, destroy  industry  and  agriculture  to  better take it over, and   force   them  off  their  property.  It states that all
        California  wants  to  do  is  to remain part of México. U.S. authority  is  rejected. Those who side with the Gringos will be  declared  traitors  and shot, as will be those who do not take  up  arms   in  defense  of Mexican California. All U.S. property  will  be confiscated to pay for the defense against the invasion. In   view   of   the  subsequent  resistance,  this documents expresses the true feelings of Angelinos.
        José  María  Jacinto is named Commander in Chief, José Antonio Carrillo  is  named  Major  General,  Andrés Pico is Squadron  Commander.  Servulio  Varela  is  commander  of 50 volunteers who  arrest  20  U.S.  Americans  under  the command of Isaac Williams.  September  26  and  27  Mexicans attack and defeat the  enemy  at  Rancho Chino. On  September 26, Gillespie and the  garrison  entrenched at the Board of Education surrender to  Mexican  Angelinos.  (Micalea is vindicated)

There are  skirmishes  in   San  Pedro.  Carrillo  adopts tricks to frighten  the  enemy, appearing to have more  troops than in reality, and Stockton withdraws to San Diego.
        On  December  6  and  7 the Battle of San Pascual takes place near  Escondido,  with  a  Mexican victory. Andrés Pico, with 80  men  armed with lances, faces Kearney with 140 men, armed with  the  latest  weapons,  who have arrived from New México under  President  Polk's  orders  and  guided  by Kit Carson.
        Under  the  conviction  that  Mexicans  are  cowards and "the greasers  will  not  fight", they are attacked at dawn on the 6th,  and  in  spite  of being more numerous, are defeated by the  Angelinos.  Pico's  lancers  attack  from all sides. Kit  Carson  escapes  to  ask Stockton for help. 14 U.S. Americans die,  but  no  Mexican, in spite of the fact that the Gringos have heavy artillery, sabers and pistols.
        A  few  days  after,  200 men arrive from San Diego to rescue Kearney,  who declares a victory, even though he was defeated and lost his right arm in the bargain.
        Total war is unleashed against the Mexicans. Frémont's forces arrive   from  the  north  and  join  two other newly arrived regiments.   Stockton  leaves  San  Diego  with  600 men. The Angelinos  have,  by  necessity, young cadets and men between 50 and 60 years old.

        The  Mormon  Battalions  of  Coronel  Stevenson's  volunteers arrive  from  New  York. They set up Fort Moore, on the Board of  Education  site,  and  at gun point force the Mexicans to submit to the political sovereignty of the United States.


There are muddy streets in Los Angeles cards pushing through getting stuck, the streets are full of Chinese Irish the German French Chileans,  Peruvians and Mexicans. There are dogs on the street, people selling things, pregoneros, etc.

Although violent crimes were unknown in California before the conquest by the United States, after 1846 the poor classes undergo a transformation that frequently includes violence. The Mexican government declares that land grants must remain in original hands, according to treaty, but exploitation and racism are the order of the day, justified by the assumption of "right of conquest" by  the Americans. Farms and properties are set afire, women are raped, men are assassinated. .

The gringos who accused Rumaldo move into his house with their family.

LARRY LYNCH TALKS ABOUT GOING TO FIND GOLD

Elections  are  held  for  Mayor.  Angelinos  vote for Ignacio Palomares  and  José  Sepúlveda.  The U.S. military annul the elections   and  name Stephen C. Foster as Mayor. Mexicans boycott his authority.

The Americans order the Mexicans to leave the county of Toulumne.Jesus and Jose, brothers of Jacinto, emigrate to California in search of gold. Jesus is lynched by the Anglos at  Murphys Diggins near the  Stanislaus River, at the foot of  the Sierra Nevada. In Sonora, California, county of Toulumne, a daguerreotype is taken from Joaquin Murrieta Orosco Joaquin marries Carmen Felix in Sonora, Mexico. The couple  travel to California to exploit the  mine of his murdered  brother, but they are assaulted by the gringos. Carmen is raped  and murdered. The legislature charges a tax of 20 dollars for every 30 days to the foreign miners, classifying  the Mexicans as "foreigners."

Jacinto begins to forge a plan to join men to fight against the injustices. Unlike some Mexicans who turn their backs on Mexico, calling themselves "Spaniards," and collaborating with the gringos, Murrieta earns the nickname  of "the Patriot".  
Jacinto gathers up of men around him some of them are actually gringos. Jacintos group meets in secret.

Nighttime.  There are 20 horses in the corral.  Owls are hooting.  The owls turned out to be Jacinto's men, who with her own horses are preparing to Rustle the corral.  They take down the gate and at a signal that dry the horses out and take them with them.

They have the support of the town that shapes its feats in corridos songs and. Fight against the unjust taxes and the abuse of the right assumptions of conquest. They take refuge in the thickness of the Mexican population of the Mother Lode, whose cover is ample and safe. Formacion of a safe place attracts others minorias.. The lieutenant of Jacinto is Manuel Garcia, (Three Fingered Jack).

 THE END OF THE OLD DAYS-PUBLIC EXECUTIONS
1853 Lola Montez accepts to act in front of the miners of the Sierra Nevada with the famous dance of the spiders behind previously prevailing in Europe and San Francisco. Irish by birth, it changes his name of Heddle Gilbert to Lola Montez and dies to the 43 years in New York.
Full of life and vinegar was the infamous Lola Montez. Born in
                  Ireland in 1818, she was an actress of questionable morals and talent. By the time she reached San Francisco, she had been  through three marriages and numerous scandals involving the likes of Ludwig I of Bavaria and composer Franz Liszt. When   Montez took her famed "spider dance" into the gold fields, it  wasn't warmly received. In fact, the miners booed her off the stage. She threatened to horsewhip one newspaper editor who  had given her a bad review, and dared another to a duel. -- No
                  Place for a Woman? By Patricia Cronin Marcello
                  Glamorous and boldly unconventional, La Lola attracted an enthusiastic following based more on her persona and her  beauty than on her talent. She thrilled Gold Rush SanFrancisco with her amorous scandals and famously suggestive  "Spider Dance." A "liberated" woman, she was also known for her affairs with Franz Liszt and King Ludwig I of Bavaria. First appearing in San Francisco in May of 1853, Lola Montez  spent a year in California's sleepy Sierra town of Grass  Valley, where she took an interest in a young neighbor named   Lotta Crabtree. -- The San Francisco Performing Arts Library &

Countless robberies of cattle and murders are adjudged to him. The Songs of Juan Valenzuela, books of Irineo Peace, others about the Coyote, and the Fox are written. This I complete, under the control of Walt Disney, furious anti-communist and extreme right-winger of Hollywood, is conviertido into the hands of Johnston McCulley, unlike the true Jacinto, in fighter not against the Anglo-Saxons, but as opposed to the Spanish dominion in California. For this concept, it transfers the action to 1820, before independence; Don Diego of the Fertile valley, approached Spanish landed young person in California, incarnates paladin of the town, "sworn enemy of the tyrant who receives imposed altisimos and enslaves the Indians". Professor Acigar publishes librillo in Mexico. Others of Robert Gaillard exist, of Raymond Friday Locke, Frank F. Latta makes studies on the "bandit robavacas".

1856  - Newspapers  are  published  in Los Angeles. La Estrella is  bi-lingual  and  El  Clamor Público is all in Spanish. El Clamor   denounces  the  injustices  against  Mexicans.   The Spanish  language  press has wide distribution with increased literacy.  One  tendency  responds  to  the  interests of the richest  Anglo-Mexicans,  the  other  is  in the hands of the middle-working   class  and  has  nationalist  and  socialist tendencies.


he is CAUGHT BY THE MILITIAS, LARRY LYNCH AT THE HEAD

1857-    Between about 1850 and 1870, 35 public executions take place.
    With a price on their heads, the Juan Jacinto's  band hides out in the Crescenta Valley, which includes some of the most rugged and remote canyons in the Angeles National Forest. On the gang's trail with a five-man posse, Barton, a carpenter turned "lawman", stops at the rancho of Don Jose Sepúlveda, whose house stands at the head of Newport Bay. While the posse breakfasts, their guns are tampered with by a servant, Chola Martina, one of Jacinto's' sweethearts.

        When the lawmen reach a spot about 300 yards southwest of where the Laguna Freeway now crosses San Diego Creek, nearly 20 Manillas ride downhill, bushwhacking them. The posse's guns are useless. Fontes shoots Barton three times in the heart, once through the right eye and again through the arm. Three other "lawmen" also are killed, while two escape.

        Fear rises when word of the "Barton Massacre" reaches L.A. Hysterical citizens believe Jacinto and his cohorts are headed back to town "to murder white people."
        A 119-man is posse formed, headed by Andrés Pico  
        Taken by surprise, Jacinto and 10 others scramble to the top of a 200-foot peak in Santiago Canyon, which now bears the his name. Jacinto escaped by riding his blindfolded horse down a steep 50-foot ledge, then using the brush growing on the hillside to climb to safety.
        Shortly afterward, however, Jacinto and two companions are caught and sent to jail, but soon escape.
        Recaptured four days later at Simi Pass, Jacinto is taken to Los Angeles At 2 p.m. on Valentine's Day in 1857, on wooden benches, there sits a crowd of 3,000 Angelinos--more than half the county's population--watching 22-year-old Jacinto slowly strangle because the amateur hangman has bungled the job. Nine other members of Jacinto' band are strung up from the heavy crossbeam over the gate at the Tomlinson and Griffith Corral & Lumberyard, while others go to prison.
    More lynchings take place following Jacinto' execution, some of known bandits, others of innocents. Fontes escapes to México, where he is later killed, and Pancho Daniel is captured a year later. In the midst of his trial, a Gringo mob breaks into the jail and hangs him from the roof beam.
    The grisly history of the Tomlinson and Griffith corral ends with the notorious Chinese Massacre of 1871, where a few of the 22 victims of an anti-Asian pogrom are hanged.

        City Hall blames the Mexicans for a smallpox epidemic, saying they  are  "dirty".  The  newspaper  El  Demócrata denies the allegations,   identifying   only  21  cases  in  the Mexican community.
    1878  -The  5  de  Mayo  parade is held, headed by Carrillo and the  Junta,  200  members,  La Guardia Zaragoza, and 10 units of political and social organizations. Unlike previous  parades,   which  were  mostly  religious,  it begins to take on a markedly  social and political character.
1879 - The Mutualist Society proposes a Spanish-speaking school.
    1880  -Segregation   of  Mexican  and  Anglo-American barrios is complete.  Mexicans  have  to  live  near their workplace, in the  worst  areas and in shacks. The Barrios are formed; Main Street,  the  Los  Angeles  River.  Mexicans  are a necessary force  for  the  economic  development  of the city.

    1900     Los  Angeles  formally becomes a racist, apartheid city. Mexicans  and  Anglos are prohibited from living next to each other.  Anglo-Americans are always in an advantageous position in  relation  to Mexicans in business, politics and in social circles.    For   that   reason Mexicans  prefer  their own institutions and culture, where they find pride and dignity.
1901 - Henry Huntington unites the Pacific Railway Co and Pacific Electric   and  installs  railroad               cars.  The city begins to expand.  Los  Angeles  has  a population of 102,479. Mexicans work             in  construction,  in industry, in unskilled labor, and contribute greatly to the transformation             of the city.
