Colusa CA forgotten Ide memorial (#0072)

Colusa CA forgotten Ide memorial (#0072)
Plaque describing Ide's public service: "Early California Pioneer, Member of Original Bear Flag Party....First and Only President of "California Republic". Given the talk in recent years of the secession of a portion of northern California to the state of Jefferson, I would have thought that more attention would have been paid to this monument. See also the plaque in the next picture.

The thing about history is that people are rarely willing to repeat it unless they've forgotten. I wonder how many modern Californians are aware there was ever a California Republic. Considering the number of Californians that started out someplace else, I'd bet the number is small.

I'll admit to having not known of it before looking it up for this.
