Photographer: Alex Grzywacki, Jr. Commander SUVCW, project researcher locating Company C veterans
Taken: 2007
Caption: Capt. Antonio Maria de la Guerra Memorial at Cieneguitas Cemetery
Additional Description: Some of the veterans of 1st Battalion Native California Cavalry were buried at this site. No records have been found regarding the location of each person buried here, including the veterans, just dates of death and the cemetery at the time of death. Many people were involved in salvaging the cemetery and lots of hard work went into clearing a good portion of it. Especially the Sons of Union Volunteers of the Civil War [SUVCW Camp #28 William T. Sherman] of Santa Barbara.
