Or, is it something to do with Alberto being a somewhat stupid and unwitting party to the theft of the family land grant? That grant was under Phillip A, Joseph N and Alberto's mother's name from her father Gabriell Rivas. That's the 17th avenue trestle and lands around it.
Ok, what is it? I was thinking it was on the brick work. He was at one time a brickmason. Spill the beans. Did he let the Yankee's in?
