After being on the state's historic register for more than 80 years, the Irvine City Council recently voted in favor of installing a marker at Barton Mound, the site where LA County Sheriff James Barton and 3 of his men were massacred by the Flores-Daniel gang in 1857. The tale of the murders, and the events that lead to and followed them, were covered on our blog a few years back.
