Deletions

As mentioned in the edit, I removed the sentence "In 1863 W. F. Holcolmb and Pete Smith horse and mule were killed in an attack." because it is impossible to understand, and should have a reference. I also removed the comment about the 1867 battle ending the Indians ability to gather food on the mountain because it isn't supported by the text - particularly the text of the monument. That indicates settlers continued harassing Native Americans for some time after the battle, and that it was this harassment which ultimately ended the Indians foraging here. Since the text of the monument remains, removing the text from the first paragraph cleans up the overall description of events.

Thanks to the original writer(s) for taking the time to write up this important piece of local history. TheOldCalifornian (talk) 05:02, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
