By the time they reached the last high mountains they had lost their treasures one by one. They finally arrived in Placerville with nothing but one old cow which had but one eye the other had been shot out by an Indian arrow.
From Placerville the family went to Petaluma, or as it was spelled at the time Patoloma. The family settled in Petaluma.
