HISTORY OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY
Briefly sketching the history of the City of Monterey, California, we find that the bay was discovered by the sea adventurer, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542, who anchored off Moss Landing and claimed the country for Spain. The name he gave Point Pinos (Punta de los Pinos) still clings to that promontory.

Sixty years later, 1602, Don Sebastian Visciano reached Monterey; and the records show that he landed at the mouth of the small creek near the Reservation main gate and gave it the name Carmel. He also named the Santa Lucia Mountains.

The Viceroy of Mexico was the Count of Monte Rey. Mexico at that date was one of the Spanish possessions. The Count being the ruler of the new country, with the idea of starting a pueblo on the shore of the beautiful sheltered bay, Visciano named the place Monte Rey, after the viceroy. About a year later Visciano sailed away.

Then came the famous Captain Gasper de Portola, who marched overland in 1769 from San Diego with sixty-seven men. No records in his possessions revealed to him that he had re-discovered Monte Rey Bay. He proceeded north and discovered the San Francisco Bay, after which he returned to San Diego. Here he reported the beautiful, sheltered harbor north of Los Angeles to Father Junipero Serra and an expedition was organized, part to proceed by ship with the noted priest, and Portola to make the trip overland.

Father Serra arrived at Monterey in 1770, the military post (Presidio) and the Mission San Carlos de Baromeo, were founded with all the ceremonies attending such affairs. Thus was started the permanent occupation of Pueblo de Monte Rey.

In 1776 Monterey became the capitol of California. Since California at that date included Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah, as well as the present California, the fame of Monterey was far-flung. The first Constitutional Convention ever held in California was at Monterey, September 3rd to October 13th, 1849, at Colton Hall. Here the eastern boundary of California was set at the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The military, to protect the Port of Monterey, occupied a group of buildings 500 feet square, and in this square was Mission San Carlos de Baromeo, used as the Royal Presidio Chapel. Today (1938) it is the only Presidio remaining in California, and, incidentally it has been in continuous use since 1795. The barracks, storehouses, and chapel are standing and, along with many of the other original old land-marks, are jealously guarded by a local commission, Colonel Miller, Post Commander of the present Monterey Presidio, being one of the members.

An earthwork, El Castillo, just above the Main Gate dated back to 1795, when it was built and armed. This earthwork participated in the defense of Monterey against General Hypolite Bouchard, a Frenchman, ostensibly in the service of the Argentina Insurgents. General Bouchard arrived in 1818, landed two vessels on Point Pinos, captured and sacked El Castillo and the Pueblo de Monte Rey. The Spanish defenders retreated to Salinas.

When the Republic of Mexico was formed, in 1822, Monterey flew the strange flag of that new nation.

Captain A. P. Catesby Jones, U.S.N., landed at Monterey in 1842 and took Monterey for the United States, but, upon learning that his country was still at peace with Mexico, lowered the Stars and Stripes, replaced the Mexican flag, apologized and withdrew.

On July 2nd, 1846, when Mexico was at war with this country, Commodore John D. Sloat, U.S.N., commanding the navy on the Pacific Coast, having instructions to do so, landed at Monterey unopposed and raised the flag at the Customs House and later at El Castillo. The handsome monument on the Monterey Presidio grounds is in his honor. The corner stone was laid in 1896. The base stones are gifts from different organizations and individuals while the United States Government presented the figures on top. The monument is not far from the Main Gate.

Among the famous names in early California history, who figured in Monterey's early days, in addition to Sloat, are Commodore R. S. Stockton who succeeded Commodore Sloat, Captain J. C. Fremont who with 160 men arrived late in July 1864 from overland and camped on the outskirts of town; the first Military Governor, General Stephen W. Kearny, Colonel R. B. Mason (who hat Lt. William Tecumseh Sherman for this Adjutant) and General Bennet Riley, who organized the Constitutional Convention of September 1st, 1849, and the general election, before California became a State.

By an Executive Order in 1866, 158 acres were allotted for a permanent military reservation at Monterey. This was reduced to 140 acres by an error in the survey. In 1902, with many troops returning from the Philippine Islands, the reservation was occupied by Captain E. H. Plummer, and construction of the present post begun.

By 1906 the size of the reservation was increased by purchases to 398 acres, its present size. And then, in 1917, purchase was made from the David Jacks Estate, of 15,809 acres, known as the Gigling Area, the estate retaining the timber rights. In 1936 the government brought these timber rights for 25,000 dollars and Gigling Area is under the Presidio Post Commander.

There is a monument to the memory of Father Junipero Serra, about 150 yards north of the Main Gate, on the point of the hill. It was built by Mrs Jane Stanford.

The City of Monterey has a population of about ten thousand (1938). It is one hundred and twenty-five miles south of San Francisco, reached by automobile or bus over the world's finest boulevards, or by railroad. Its climate is mild, described as "spring the entire year," and its architecture and atmosphere is Spanish, perhaps more than any city on the Pacific Coast. Adjoining it, also on the shore of the Monterey Bay is Pacific Grove with about eight thousand home loving people, fine schools and churches of many denominations.

Fishing and the canning of fish, forms a major industry at Monterey. Tourists from all parts of the world visit the section, which in addition to historic Monterey and Presidio; Pacific Grove and its charming scenery and climate; has a famed artist colony, Carmel, noted for its sand dunes, wild flowers, and rustic homes for the well-to-do; and Hotel Del Monte noted for its ground, its quiet, genteel atmosphere, its famous hostelry and its golf, polo and other recreational facilities.

HISTORY 11TH CAVALRY 1938 PRESIDIO
The 11th Cavalry was organized at Fort Meyer, Va., March 11th, 1901. An act of Congress of February 2nd, 1901, had made this possible. Francis Moore was the first colonel of the regiment, a distinguished veteran of the Civil, Indian and Spanish-American wars. He was a man of exceptional integrity and ability.

In the winter of 1901-2 the regiment moved to the Philippine Islands, the First Squadron via San Francisco, and the balance of the regiment via New York and the Suez Canal. The First Squadron went to Samar, the 2nd Squadron Batangas, where it took part in the Malvar Campaign, and the 3rd Squadron to Northern Luzon. Subsequently the 2nd Squadron was moved to LLocos Sur, and the 1st Squadron to station south of Dagupan. Colonel Moore was promoted to the grade of Brigadier General in 1903, and Colonel Earl D. Thomas was assigned to the regiment.

In August 1906 the regiment participated in the Riley Maneuvers, and while so engaged was ordered to proceed (less the 1st Squadron) to Cuba as part of the Army of Occupation. Upon arrival in Cuba the Headquarters and 3rd Squadron were stationed at Pinar Del Rio, and 2nd Squadron at Camp Columbia.

In 1907 Colonel Thomas was promoted to the grade of Brigadier General and James Parker was assigned as colonel of the Eleventh.

The regiment sailed from Cuba February 25th, 1909, and arrived in the United States in time to participate in the inaugural parade for President Taft. It then proceeded to its new station, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., being joined soon afterwards by the 1st Squadron, from Fort Ethan Allen, to which post it has been moved from Fort Des Moines.

During the Mexican border trouble in 1911, the regiment was moved to the mobilization camp at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, remaining there until November 1911, when it returned to Fort Oglethorpe.

In 1913 Colonel Parker was promoted to Brigadier General, and Colonel James Lockett was assigned to the regiment. During the six years that Colonel Parker commanded the regiment a very high standard of efficiency, particularly in all mounted work, was maintained. He encouraged not only polo, horse shows, and mounted field meets, but also the formation of the 11th Cavalry Hunt Club, with its pack of English hounds. One each Wednesday morning, from November 1st. to March 31st., there was a regular scheduled hunt, which all officers and many of the ladies attended. The natural result was that life in the regiment centered around the horse.

In June 1913, the regiment proceeded by marching to the Cavalry Camp at Winchester, Va., where it participated in the tryouts of the tentative drill regulations. At the conclusion of the camp, the entire command marched to Washington, D.C., where it was reviewed by President Wilson. The regiment then returned to Fort Oglethorpe by rail.

In 1914-15 Troop G, 11th Cavalry, Captain Leon B. Kromer, commanding conducted the experimental test for the Cavalry to determine to what degree of proficiency recruits, with no previous training could be brought in one year. Its work brought the warmest commendation of Major General Leonard Wood, who, as Chief of Staff of the Army, had directed that the test be made.

In May 1914 the regiment was moved to Colorado to assist in preserving law and order, returning to its station in January 1915.

Among the officers of the regiment at this time were Major Frank G. Marshall, (Brigadier General , 1918 ) - now deceased), and Lieutenant James A. Shannon, killed in action during World War I.

Poncho Villa's raid in Columbus, New Mexico, in the early days of March 1916, brought the 11th Cavalry to the field again. On the 11th of March, the day the regiment held its annual celebration of the signing of its morning report, warning orders were received from the War Department, and the movement began the next morning. The regiment detrained at Columbus, New Mexico, on March 16th and 17th, and became part of General Pershing's Punitive Expedition.

Orders were received to march to Colonia Dublan, Mexico, one hundred and nineteen miles south. On March 17th, 1916, the 1st Squadron, Lieutenant Colonel (now Major General) Henry T. Allen, commanding, entered Mexico, preceding the balance of the regiment by a day's march. The 1st Squadron arrived at Colonia Dublan on March 21st, 1916, and the regiment the following day.

On March 24, 1916 a provisioned squadron of the 11th Cavalry under the command of Major (now General) Robert L. Howze, left Colonia Dublan for the south, under special instructions from General Pershing. On April 15th, Major Howze Squadron joined Colonel Brown's command at Santa Cruz de Villegras.

Since leaving Columbus on March 17th, Major Howze command had traveled six hundred and ninety-one miles, a greater part over difficult mountain trails, some of which as rough as had ever been passed over by any American Cavalry. This command encountered the Villistas at different small towns en route, and defeated them, losing one man killed.

Commenting on the march from Colonia Dublan to Parral, the New York World said:

"Among many instances of achievements since troops entered Mexico, one to the lasting credit of the men stands out among the rest, at the time when two-hundred and eighty men of the Eleventh Cavalry, cut loose from all communication on the desert march. On an issue of five days rations the column marched in twenty-one days, five hundred and seventy-one miles, only one hundred miles less than the distance from Paris to Berlin. The country through which they marched is a desert waste. It afforded no fodder, and only at long intervals water for the horses. There were no roads; at best only un-traveled mountain trails. During the entire march they were beyond the reach of relief. They fought several engagements and had only one man killed. It is to be doubted if there are cavalrymen in all of the armies of Europe capable of equaling this feat."

The regiment was then withdrawn to the camp at San Antonio, Mexico, where it remained until May 4-5, when six troops under Major Howze made a night march to Ojos Azules, arriving there at 5:45 a.m., May 5th, surprising the Villista leaders Julio Acosta, Cruz Domingus, and Antonio Angel, killed forty-two, captured several men and between fifty and seventy-five ponies. Not a cavalryman was wounded, although several bullets passed through their clothing and equipment.

On March 30th a provisional squadron under Lieutenant Colonel Henry T. Allen, left on a mission similar to that of Major Mowze. He marched to Namaquipa, thence to Rancho Laguna in pursuit of Lopez, but missed him by a few hours. After marching sixteen consecutive marches without a break of a single day, he received instructions to march to Parral, fifty-seven miles distant. Colonel Allen started the march at once, marching throughout the night, and after twenty-two hours on the road reached Parral, on the morning of April 15th, a few hours before Major Howze's squadron arrived.

On April 21st the two squadrons with Colonel Allen in command moved north to San Antonio, Mexico. Another squadron under Major Jenkins distinguished itself by hard marching. At Ortego the squadron encountered a bandit force, drove them back, inflicting a few casualties. This squadron also went to the relief of two troops of the Tenth Cavalry, which had been engaged at Carrozal, rescuing an officer and twenty men.

The last day of January 1917 the regiment left Palomas where the Expeditionary forces assembled prior to the withdrawal from Mexico. On February 5th, 1917, the Eleventh Cavalry, as part of the Punitive Expedition crossed the Mexican border at Columbus, New Mexico, and on the following day proceeded by marching to Camp Steward, El Paso, Texas, arriving there on the ninth.

On May 23rd, 1917, the regiment left El Paso for Chicamauga Park, Ga., where it went into camp. Approximately two-thirds of its officers and men were transferred June 21st, for the organization of two new regiments, the 22nd and 23rd Cavalry, which were later changed to the 80th and 81st Field Artillery.

Early in 1918 Regimental Headquarters, Machine Gun and Supply Troops, and Third Squadron were ordered to Fort Meyer, Virginia.

At Fort Myer, Va., where the regiment was ordered in June, they carried on the usual training activities of a cavalry regiment and also met the responsibilities connected with the Summer Training Camps.

On July 9th, 1919 they left Fort Myer, Va., where the regiment was ordered in June, they carried on the usual training activities of a cavalry regiment and also met the responsibilities connected with the Summer Training Camps.

On July 9th, 1919, they left Fort Myer for the Presidio of Monterey, California. At this picturesque Post, one hundred and twenty-five miles south of San Francisco, they are located today.

An unusual performance was the work of the 11th Cavalry and other units of the Post, in fighting the fire, which destroyed the oil tanks and plant of the Associated Oil Company, on September 14th, 15th, and 16th, 1924. The burning oil endangered the city. During this time the troops worked day and night. Two members of the garrison were burned to death, one of them being Private First Class George Bolio, Headquarters Troop, Eleventh Cavalry. The citizens of Monterey were most appreciative of the service rendered them by the officers and men of the Post.

In 1925 all organizations of this regiment competed in the Cavalry Pistol Team Competition, National Rifle Association, which was won by the team representing Troop F. The gold medals awarded to this team by the National Rifle Association were presented to them at the regimental parade April 1st, 1926.

The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation presented this regiment with two beautiful cups, the "Big Parade" trophy and the "Ben Hur" trophy. The Big Parade trophy was competed for December 23rd - 30th, 1925, open to all enlisted men in this regiment. A committee of all the first sergeants of this regiment drew up the plans for this competition. The course started at the three hundred yard firing point, competitors mounted at the signal, rode at any gait to the two hundred firing point, dismounted, tied their horses on a ground picket line, took their rifles and fired five shots at their own target. After competitors finished firing five shots they returned to their horses, mounted and rode over a number of obstacles to the pistol range where they fired seven shots at their own targets, either mounted or dismounted; then mounted, drew saber, and ran through the saber course to the finishing point. The time limit was fifteen minutes; time and scores to count for place. First place and trophy was won by Sergeant John J. Clark, Troop "E"; second by Private F.M. Agnew, Troop "C".

All of the officers of this regiment competed for the Ben Hur Trophy, December 24th, 1925, over a course six miles long, with fifteen obstacles, including slides, ditches, banks, water, a stone wall and log jumps; time limit fifty minutes. At the finish of the course each competitor took a strange rifle, and fired five shots at an A target, at three hundred yards, from a sitting position. Time limit was one minute. First place and trophy was won by Major Sloan Doak; Captains D.C. Hawley and R.E. Craig tied for second place.

Reading a report of 1926:

"At this Post the climate permits training every day in the year and with the presence of the 2nd Battalion, 76th Field Artillery in the Post the availability at any time of airplanes from Crissy Field, afford unusual opportunities for combined training which have been taken advantage of. In sports, special interest is taken in mounted field meets, horse shows, mounted competitions and polo."

During 1929 the 11th Cavalry performed the unusual garrison duties. On January 15th, the Horse Show and mounted Field Meet was held at the Post. This was held again on March 27th. All organizations participated in the filming of the motion picture "Troopers Three", from September 15th to 30th. The annual Mounted Field meet of the 11th Cavalry was held at the Polo Field, Del Monte, California, and presentation of trophies to winning organizations was made by Tiffany Stahl Productions.

The year 1930 the regiment less the detachment stationed at Fort Rosecrans, California, and less the Band, marched to Gigling Reservation and engaged in tactical maneuvers for the annual tactical inspection by the Corps Area Commander. And on April 24th, the Band, 11th Cavalry, entrained for Fresno, California, and participated in the annual Raison Growers Festival, returning to the Post April 26th.

June 15th, 1931, R.O.T.C. Camp opened at the Presidio of Monterey, consisting of nine officers and five enlisted men, with one hundred and eighty students. Preparation for annual C.M.T.C. Camps was made, both at the Presidio and Camp Del Monte, California.

On December 13th, 1935, a review was held in honor of the Secretary of War.

A mounted review and inspection by Major General Upton Birne, Jr., was held at the Presidio on June 1st, 1936.

With the exception of a caretaking detachment of the 11th Cavalry, the officers and enlisted men of the Presidio left for San Francisco on June 1st, 1937, to participate in the Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta.

The 4th Army maneuvers were held at San Louis Obispo and the march was made so as to arrive August 7th, 1937. The march started on August 1st, and the first night was spent at Camp Ord. The following day's march ended at Gonzales. On August 3rd they reached King City. From there to San Louis Obispo, via San Lucas and Bradley, Templeton and Morro Beach took four more days. A number of interesting photographs were made by various enlisted men and officers on this notable trip.

A sound picture, entitled Sergeant Murphy was made on the Presidio of Monterey grounds in the Fall of 1937. Two stars, Mary Maguire and Ronald Reagan, of Warner Brother's Studio, were used. The interesting preview was held at the War Department Theater on the Post, on December 18th, 1937. The above image in the middle is from the movie Sergeant Murphy and the image to the right is Lt. R Reagan 323rd Cav Regiment 66th Cavalry Division, taken in the early 1940s.

Note: I received the below email July 24, 2015:

Hello Greg,
My father, Morris J. Grossman, was a cavalryman at the Presidio and appears on your list of the A TROOP, 11TH CAVALRY, 2ND CAVALRY DIVISION. I do strongly recall his occasionally mentioning Sapash with a big smile on his face because apparently, Sapash was quite a character. Unfortunately, dad's not around to reveal those stories. My brothers may remember a few and I can ask if you're interested.

You might be interested to know that Dad claimed he'd helped Mr. Reagan learn to ride (or ride in their style), and that Reagan's horse was named Blackie.

Best regards,

Al Grossman

VIDEO: A YEAR ON A CAVALRY POST
Produced at the Presidio of Monterey, California, under the direction of Colonel Homer M. Groninger, 11th Cavalry, 1938.

This series of films was found in a military archive in its original 16mm Kodachrome color film and is the only copy of its kind. The films are silent with captions describing the different scenes.

The film has been converted into subject material for easy of reference and viewing. The clippings in some cases have been modified and re-edited to keep the continuity of the subject. Some of the original material has been removed when it was thought not to be necessary or not in its proper place. This film gives us excellent insight to the activities of the cavalry post at the Presidio of Monterey, California in 1938. - Greg Krenzelok

"F" Troop, 11th Cavalry, 1938, Presidio of Monterey. Image credit: Corporal Floyd M. Leines Collection, daughter Caroline Rauser. See note below:

Greg,
My dad was in the U.S. Cavalry with F Troop, 11th Cavalry in about 1937-1938. I have a wonderful album he did with many pictures of the men and horses he served with in Monterey. He also told us he was a stand in for Ronald Regan in sergeant Murphy and had a picture with Regan, but sent it to Regan when he was president. He also crossed the Golden Gate Bridge with the 11th Cavalry the first day it opened. His name is Floyd M. Leines and was a corporal.

11th Cavalry: Horse Show Team with horses and ribbons, 1938. DLIFLC & POM Archives

Note: I received the below email July 24, 2015:

Greg,
My father, Morris J. Grossman, appears in your photo of the 11th Cavalry Horse Show Team with horses and ribbons, 1938. He stands in the back row all the way to (our) right, behind the seated, hunched forward officer. It's likely Dad took a ribbon in the jump, as we have quite a few photos of him on a horse, jumping. In fact, many years ago, on a visit to Ft. Riley with old cavalrymen, I found a photo of him on horseback in a book about dressage, written by one of his old officers. Dad wound up autographing quite a few books that day.

Best regards,

Al Grossman
