Question #35
So you buy a piece of land from Vallejo and start a cattle ranch, but when you get there, you opt to enslave and capture the local Indians to be your vaqueros... in fact, in a Dickens-esque exchange, a young, starving Indian 'slave' asks your partner for more rations for his family and your partner kills him.
Then, you take a 40+ Indian group on a gold mining expedition and only one or two survive due to your cruelty.
So, needing to one-up yourself, you and your partner start doing more and worse horrible things to the Idians... until, finally, an Indian woman you attacked, the Chief's wife, pours water all over your gunpowder stash and guess what happens next?
Indian warriors arrive and immediately kill you with an arrow, your partner tries to escape, but the Chief finds him hiding in some willows and kills him with a rock! And what do you get for your efforts, a city named after you! Outrageous! Regardless, the city is not the place, and this is not the end of the story.
In retaliation, the army sends in troops to slaughter your tribe, but they only find a different band of Indians who were in no way involved in the attack; so the army slaughters them; between 135 and 500 in total; men, women, and children. One of the sole survivors was a little girl who hid underwater and used a tule reed to breathe.
What current city is where this horrible page of history took place? The answer is the name of the city followed by the name of this horrid event.
