Steve Gastellum will present the story of Baca Float Number 3. The history of an illegal land grab scheme perpetuated by a lawyer hired by the Baca heirs. The story covers over 200 years of history, it involves three countries, and it had very serious consequences for around 175 families in the communities of Tubac, Carman, Tumacacori and Calabasas. The talk will be illustrated with maps and family pictures.
