Losing Ground nevada mines Each spot tells a storyExcerpt: "The Cahuillas, who had lived in the Pass for centuries, lost ground to Spanish and Mexican rancheros and later to land hungry American squatters. Their rancherias, or villages, throughout the Pass from Redlands to Whitewater disappeared one after the other. By 1889, severely reduced in numbers, they had to go to court to defend their last piece of land, the Potrero, from being grabbed by squatters and speculators."
