Siege of San José del Cabo
The Siege of San José del Cabo, from January to February 1848, was a prolonged battle of the Mexican-American War in which Mexican militia besieged a smaller force of American marines, sailors and Californio militia. The final engagement during the battle involved half of the American garrison, and a landing party from a reinforcing warship, which successfully lifted the siege.
==Background==
Following the Battle of San Jose del Cabo, Captain Manuel Pineda of the Mexican Army initiated a siege. The ''Southampton'' departed for Mazatlan on 5 Dec., but the ''Portsmouth'' remained until 4 Jan. 1848, insuring the garrison's safety, while Commander Montgomery helped Lt. Charles Heywood strengthen its defenses "from the danger of another attack".〔Nunis, D.B., editor, The Mexican War in Baja California, 1977, Los Angeles: Dawson's Book Shop, ISBN 978-0870932397〕 The large windows of their mission fort was bricked in and a parapet raised on the roof.〔 Augmented with two additional guns on carriages and 16 men from the ''Portsmouth'', added to the 26 reinforcements the ''Southampton'' delivered earlier, brought the garrison to over 70.〔
