September 25 “Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, was, until recently, the historic Rancho Santa Margarita...While the President was in the patio, ‘Pancho’ Brown was introduced to him, the latter having been on the ranch for some twenty years. ‘Pancho’ told the President that in the old days they had as many as 20,000 head of cattle on the ranch, which employed, at that time, about 20 cowhands and 30 to 40 ranch hands...‘Pancho’ then presented the Present with a hand-made rawhide lariat and had his picture (still and movies) taken with the President.” |
