Biographical Information
Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1808-1890) was among the most prominent leaders and landowners of Mexican California at the time of the gold rush and subsequent American statehood. Although never formally granted the rank of general, from 1838 Vallejo was comandante-general of California. He was later a member of the California constitutional convention and instrumental in the California's entry into Unites States. From 1834 Vallejo owned the Petaluma Rancho, and his later home was Lachryma Montis, in Sonoma. Although he was one of the largest landowners in California, statehood and subsequent legal battles over land claims cost him nearly all of his holdings.
