Totoy Pico's capture during Fremont's 1846 California campaign
In 1846 Fremont’s forces move through the Salinas valley toward Los Angeles. Totoy Pico, a California leader who pledged allegiance to the United States, was found hiding in a cellar at his rancho near Santa Margarita and arrested. He was sentenced to death, provoking pleas from Pico’s family and the local Spanish community. Pico offered to help end the war if spared, hoping to reach his cousin Andreas Pico at San Fernando.
