Mission Trail Nature Preserve/Flanders Mansion Walk - Part 2, Carmel, California

His land encompassed 4,367 acres聽northeast of the mission. In 1851, Soto sold the rancho to Andrew Randall for $500. Randall got himself a little bit behind with some of his creditors and was murdered in a San Francisco hotel in 1856. Mr. Randall's land was subsequently aquired by his attorney, Fletcher M.
