On June 14, 1846, a band of rebels calling themselves Osos —
their name inspired by grizzly bears whose “fighting spirit” they
admired — gathered in the plaza of Sonoma, California. At dawn that
day,
they had ridden into the town and occupied it, forcing the Mexican Colonel
Vallejo to surrender. In celebration of their bloodless victory, the rebels
fashioned a flag bearing their emblem: a brown bear on a white field, a red
stripe along the bottom and a red star in the upper corner, and the words
California Republic — painted in pokeberry juice. The Osos cheered
as the Bear Flag was raised for the first time. Dale L. Walker’s
Bear
Flag Rising tells how America wrested California from Mexico, and the events
that changed the map of the U.S. more radically than any event after the
Louisiana Purchase. Walker enlivens California’s already colorful
history
with capsule biographies of the heroic villains and villainous heroes that
populated the area. Notable among these are Commodore Robert Field
Stockton and General Stephen Watts Kearny, both ostensibly with the same
purpose — to claim California and fulfill America’s Manifest
Destiny — but with differing methods and goals. Caught between the
rival conquerors’ enormous egos, celebrated explorer John Charles
Frémont ended up with his career (and, possibly, his life) in danger.
Thoroughly researched, engagingly written, Bear Flag Rising is an excellent
addition to the growing list of books on the American West.
