There is much written about Gen. "fighting" Joe Hooker in the Sonoma, CA. Museum where
there is a display featuring personal items
of the General (then a lieutenant). He was
involved in the taking of California from
the Mexicans 10 or 12 years before the Civil War. He tried his hand at farming and was a land owner North of Sonoma at a place that
bears the Hooker name.
