McGarrahan Wins Victory After Years of Struggle for Rancho Panoche Grande
In Washington on July 22 the long battle over William McGarrahan’s Rancho Panoche Grande claim moves toward a court review. The act directs the court of private land claims to consider his grant in California and determine compensation, with possible indemnity for land and minerals if the claim succeeds. McGarrahan, once starved for support, faces a future of potential title and relief after decades of defeat. The scene at the House doors shows his frail but hopeful state as allies celebrate a nine vote margin.
