And to...FYI, Beale AFB is not named after EF Beale. And to be certain, Beale was an opportunitst and great benefactor of patronage. He may have been cleared of wrongdoing because of his powerful political ties and his prominent family name but he embezzled what is the equivelent of close to $20 million dollars in todays money, as the Supt of Indian affairs. He was pro reservation because he knew well, the vast appropriations to which he would have access to. It was Beale who was entrusted to emeliorate CA Indians conditions with vast federal appropriations for this purpose while thousands of CA Indians were being slaughtered, yes slaughtered, enslaved, starved, hunted like coyotes, children stolen and sold to the highest bidder in SF, LA and other cities by Americans settling California. With this great responsibility did little but use the funds to engratiate himself and his cronies, Godey, Fremont, Bishop, etc. While a small number of CA indians benefitted to some extent, in that they were to some extent protected from the slaughter occurring throughout California, they recieved very little benefit from the funds intended to assist them. Instead they were still regularly under threat of settlers and on occasion residence of the reservation were killed by whites, and they were forced to labor on farms under the threat of corporal punishment administered by Bishop and Godey. Intended to benefit the Indians, the proceeds from the agricultural product produced went to no other than Beale, Godey and Bishop. Beale used millions (in todays money) to purchase cattle intended to feed starving Indians in central CA, to stock his personal stock, with which he made himself rich. Through these and other underhanded means Beale purchased several land grants that make up Tejon. This is not conjecture, theory or anti-Beale sentiment, but facts of history usually swept under in the glorification and myth of Beale and early california history. It is available in the primary sources of government records, JP Harringtons Tejon Indian depositions, early CA newspapers, etc.cleivamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863386146851550815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096012.post-29277710452318033032012-03-02T11:01:55.427-08:002012-03-02T11:01:55.427-08:00Beale and Gody enjoyed the killing of the sick, ol...Beale and Gody enjoyed the killing of the sick, old, and babies of Indians at Tejon Indian Reservation, but the body count was at 40, 000 and they had to bury them in mass graves.
