Standard procedures for a criminal investigation were employed in order to achieve this remarkable narrative of the battle.\u00a0 This required a corroboration of both witness statements and physical evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The following account of the \u201cBattle of San Pasqual\u201d is created from all first-hand accounts of the battle with the exception of some second-hand accounts when the second-hand witness (often the interviewer) is believed to be credible, (e.g., Judge Benjamin Hayes, Captain S. F. du Pont, Hurbert H. Bancroft, Doctor George D. Lyman, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>It has, with purpose, been written in narrative form.<\/p>\n<p>Fight scenes involving soldiers and Californios in combat in this narrative, while conjectural in nature, are recreations based on actual evidence.\u00a0 Medical notes taken of wounds involving the U.S. Army dragoons in this engagement, were subjected to modern law enforcement investigative techniques involving crime scene reconstruction.\u00a0 Thus, the most likely scenario to explain where, and how a cutting-wound(s) was made during the course of battle as described by first-hand witnesses, results in the battle account given.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=895\">Part 1: Pico<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=899\">Part 2: Scouting Party<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=908\">Part 3: The Charge<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=910\">Part 4: Battle<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=907\">Part 5: Aftermath<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=916\">Part 6: The Day After<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=919\">Part 7: Mule Hill<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/?page_id=1158\">Bibliography<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image align_center\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Battle-San-Pasqual-Search-John\/dp\/B093KN6PZP\" aria-label=\"sanpasqual-book\" class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sanpasqual-book-600x692.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-us_600_0_crop size-us_600_0_crop\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sanpasqual-book-600x692.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sanpasqual-book-260x300.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/sanpasqual.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sanpasqual-book.jpeg 888w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Battle-San-Pasqual-Search-John\/dp\/B093KN6PZP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to order<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-9 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>The first book written in detail about the Battle of San Pasqual in over fifty years.
