Patchen, California
Patchen is a ghost town nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Santa Clara County, California. It is located along the old Santa Cruz Highway. History The earliest known permanent white settler in what became Patchen was Charles Henry "Mountain Charley" McKiernan. In the 1850s and 1860s, McKiernan built roads throughout his property on the summit of the mountains and operated a toll road on Native American trail nearby. In 1850, McKiernan settled near a lagoon about one mile south of his previous residence. On May 8, 1854, when hunting with John Taylor, McKiernan was attacked by a grizzly bear. Unable to reload, McKiernan bludgeoned the bear with his rifle until the rifle broke. In the attack, the grizzly crushed McKiernan's skull and damaged his left eye and forehead. Three San Jose doctors crafted a silver plate from two Mexican pesos and patched the wound without the use of anesthetics. McKiernan died on January 16, 1892. McKiernan's legacy is commemorated on California H ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
