William Gulnac's Rancho Plans in Mexican War Era
The article recounts William Gulnac and family selling Rancho del Campos de Jos Franceses to Don Carlos Maria Weber in 1845 amid raids and disease. Weber aims cattle ranching, builds five corrals across key sites, and later volunteers with Stockton’s fleet. A failed allegiance shift leads Castro to imprison him, then release as he returns to Los Angeles and re-joins American forces.

Gateway to the Southern Mines and Tulesburg origins
In fall 1847 Weber named his main settlement Tulesburg and built a large trading post with wharves. The town grew into a gateway to the Southern Mines, hosting a permanent citizen body and early mining ventures. Weber formed Stockton Mining Company and attracted stockholders from Tulesburg and San Jose before mining fever drew numerous American and Mexican prospectors to the Tuolumne Calaveras Mokelumne Stanislaus region.
