The Man Who Was Torn By the Bear and Body Found in the Laguna

Two men, one in 1833 and one in 1878, worked in the region north of San Pablo Bay that we know as Sonoma County. Both died violently and unexpectedly and both were buried in unmarked graves. Dr. Daniel Markwyn, Professor Emeritus in history at Sonoma State University, will weave the scanty particulars of these two men’s lives into the larger history of nineteenth century Sonoma County.
