Photograph of a painting by Colin Stevenson of Fort Vallejo, the chapel built by General Vallejo, and the original Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma (founded 4 July 1823), ca.1900. General Vallejo is represented with two aids on horseback with his troops on one side and his Indian Auxiliaries on the opposite side at a Grand Review, or Revista de Tropas. The Mexican flag which was flying on the flagpole in front of the fort was pulled down in 1850 when the bear flag of the California Republic was raised on the tall pole in the park opposite the fort. The extensive tower which is here represented as part of the fort was never built. A square wooden tower on the church probably housed the bell(s). The painting was owned by Dr. Patton (in 1924) and hung in the Elks Club of Vallejo. Copyright November 26, 1924. Painting ca.1875-1879.
