Came across this in a book on local history......

I'll post it in the metal detecting forum as well but I live only a few miles from the area being discussed in this book. I might have to go get me a metal detector and do some hiking this winter!





The book is "The Long Road To Tehachapi" by Judy Barras

"No one knows what prompted them to revolt...."

Well, how about the fact that they were slaves? Isn't that reason enough?

Just an update. We had a 5.0 earthquake hit this area almost dead center about 4:00pm today. Will be interesting to see if it shook anything loose!
