Ground Marker on Officers Row | Additional Description:
An Abundant Land
One of the advantages of this post was the excellent supply of foods and crops. Soldiers and settlers were familiar with products grown here; apples, peaches, hay, potatoes, beans, rutabagas, carrots, cabbage, oats and barley. Beef and mutton were easily fattened in grassy meadows. Fruit from the Hawaiian Islands and California oranges were often available. Fish and wild game were abundant year round.
