- On Gabilan Peak (now known as Fremont
Peak), Captain John C. Fremont built a hasty fortification of
logs and earth in 1846, expecting stiff resistance from Mexican
Californios. After four days, when the battle did not materialize,
he broke camp and left for Oregon. The State of California now
maintains Fremont Peak State Park, south of of the mission town
of San Juan Bautista in San Benito County.
