History
Limantour, a Frenchman by birth and a Mexican by choice, became notorious for his fraudulent claims of land grants in California from Governor Micheltorena. Limantour claimed to have been granted eleven square leagues.
With the
Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for this Laguna de Tache was filed with the Land Commission, which rejected it.[3]
