Beaumont | Chief Juan Antonio and his band of Cahuilla Indians helped Californio settlers in the San Bernardino area defend their property and livestock against outlaws and other tribal raiders during the 1840s and early 1850s. In late 1851, Juan Antonio, his warriors and their families, settled at nearby Saahatpa. During the winter of 1862–63, a smallpox epidemic swept through Southern California killing many Native Americans, including Juan Antonio and many of his people in Saahatpa. Cahuilla tradition asserts that the U.S. Government sent Army blankets that were contaminated with smallpox. After this disaster, Saahatpa was abandoned. |
