Pio Pico Mansion - Historic Adobes of Los Angeles County by John R. Kielbasa ISBN: 0-8059-4172-X - Things To Do In Los ... (6406 words)
Pico, as leader of the southern rebels, was in strong opposition of Victoria's northern style of dominion.
Pico's private quarters were situated on the north side of the house and beneath the floor was a wine cellar.
Pico filed a lawsuit to regain his property on the grounds he was a victim of fraud.
Book Review (578 words)
Pico's narrative, which covers primarily the years from his birth in 1801 to 1845, sheds light not only on the political turmoil of the Mexican period in California, but gives special insight into the daily life of pueblo and rancho residents.
Although Pico spent most of his early life in San Diego, became civilian administrator of Mission San Luis Rey, and was grantee of the 133,400 acre Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores near present-day Oceanside, his name is generally identified with places in or near Los Angeles-Pico Boulevard, Pico Canyon, and Pico Rivera.
Pio Pico is probably best remembered for his encouragement of numerous revolts against conservatives from Mexico and against Northern Californians who wished to ignore the influence of those south of Santa Barbara.
