Battle of Santa Clara (Mexican–American War)
The Battle of Santa Clara, nicknamed the "Battle of the Mustard Stalks", was a skirmish during the Mexican–American War, fought on January 2, 1847, 2½ miles west of Mission Santa Clara de Asís in California.〔 It was the only engagement of its type in Northern California during the war.
==Background==
Californios were angry at United States immigrants settling on their ranchos.〔 Six men of the U.S. sloop ''Warren'', who had gone ashore to buy cattle from Mexicans for food, were taken hostage by a group under Francisco Sánchez. One of the hostages was Lieutenant Washington Allon Bartlett,〔 the alcalde of Yerba Buena (soon to be renamed San Francisco). Captains Joseph Aram and Charles Maria Weber, commanding U.S. volunteers at Santa Clara and San Jose respectively, were sent to free them.〔〔 Sánchez had command of 200 men, so U.S. marines and artillery under Captain Marston were dispatched as reinforcement.〔 James F. Reed, acting lieutenant of the San Jose volunteer contingent, was in the area to muster a rescue party for his family, members of the Donner Party snowbound in the high Sierras. The war made volunteers hard for him to find.
