      1st California Cavalry Battalion
      The 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, California Volunteers was a cavalry battalion in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Recruits were largely drawn from the Californio population (colloquially known as "Native Californians"), though its ranks included Yaqui and Mission Indians as well as immigrants from Mexico, Latin America and Europe (particularly France). In addition to its ethnic makeup, the Battalion is also considered unusual for being one of the few lancer units in the United States Army.

      The Battalion spent its entire term of service in California and Arizona Territory.

      Company C was recruited almost entirely in Santa Barbara and was commanded by Captain Antonio Maria de la Guerra. They were posted to Drum Barracks in September 1864 and remained there until departing for Arizona Territory with the rest of the battalion in July 1865. The company was posted to Fort Mason where it remained until January 1866. Mustered out at Presidio of San Francisco April 1866.

      PEDRO ROMERO CLOSES HIS LIFE IN BLAZE OF KEROSENE
      PETER ROMERO CARRIES OUT OFT-MENTIONED PLAN TO COMMIT SUICIDE
      Peter Romero of Montecito very deliberately committed suicide last night about 9:30 by burning himself to death in his little two-room house on the East Valley road. Romero, who was living alone, had poured kerosene oil on his bedding and all over the inside of his little dwelling and then touched a match to it, with the result that the house was quickly destroyed and his body was burned to a charred mass. The flames were first seen by a brother of the victim of his own act, J. S. Romero, who lives nearby, but when he realized the fate of his brother's house and its occupant it was too late to do anything to lessen the horror of the affair. Peter had told his brother yesterday morning that he would kill himself, as he despaired of recovery from an illness that he had suffered for twenty-five years, but the threat had been made before, and it was paid no attention to in this instance. Coroner Ruiz was notified of the tragedy. He will hold an inquest on the remains at Montecito this morning at 8 o'clock and the burial will occur there late this afternoon. The deceased left many relatives and connections in Montecito. He had been married, but he and his wife have lived apart for a long time and he had no children. He was a native of Montecito, where he had spent practically all his life and was aged 73.
