	Battle of Rio San Gabriel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Rio San Gabriel was a part of the California campaign of the Mexican-American War and occurred at the sites of present-day Montebello and Pico Rivera on January 8, 1847.
		After the battle of San Pasqual, the battered Army of the West commanded by General Stephen W. Kearny went to the headquarters of Commodore Robert F. Stockton at San Diego.
		Some historians believe that the Battle of Rio San Gabriel was under-reported due to the influence of the politically-ambitious Frémont, and his father-in-law Senator Thomas Hart Benton, in order to make Frémont look better by downplaying Stockton and Kearny.

	The Battle of Los Angeles
		While the actual battle site is now a residential neighborhood with well-cared for lawns, a historic marker located a few hundred yards down the road at Washington Boulevard commemorates the spot where the Californios lay in wait for the Americans.
		According to historian Lynn Bowman, the "Battle of La Mesa" took place near the 4500 block of Downey Road, a spot now desolate with wide empty streets, overhead wires, anonymous warehouses and decaying railroad crossings.
		In the battle itself, Flores made the mistake of firing wildly with his cannons, and eventually ran out of gunpowder.
