Hudson's Bay Company post at Yerba Buena

[edit]

Dont' have the details handy, but I do know that Yerba Buena was a post of the HBC's Columbia Department, hq'd at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River; I'm not sure if this was at the town, or maybe on Yerba Buena Island; if it was at the town then Category:Hudson's Bay Company forts is applicable (although that cat name shoudl maybe say "forts and posts" in its title).Skookum1 (talk) 04:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was an office on Montgomery Street, one of the first few buildings built after the pueblo was chartered by the Mexican government, and in no way a fort. I think the book "Imperial San Francisco" talks about it briefly. 66.92.14.198 (talk) 06:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed text

[edit]

Removed "began to attract American settlers" (in 1835). There were very few Americans anywhere in Mexican California before the Mexican-American War, as it was illegal for them to be there without specific permission from the governor. WCCasey (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bolton citation

[edit]

I tried to tidy the citation to the internet archive of the Bolton authored book. I somewhat succeeded , but do not believe it is in the proper form. I am uncertain how to proceed and welcome any editor who wished to address the poor formatting. Kind reagards,Hu Nhu (talk) 02:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
