Excerpt from: TELLS OF DAYS LAND BARONS RULED
Son of Louis Rubidoux Says Father Sold Riverside 50 Cents an Acre
Back into the days when great land barons, the owners of Spanish and Mexican grants, ruled Southern California, yesterday went the testimony in the Riverside-San Bernardino water suit.
It was the opening of the defense of the city of Riverside, and as San Bernardino nine weeks ago did, that city is opening with a historical recital.
Abundo Rubidoux, youngest son of Louis Rubidoux, who once owned all of the land on which is now built Riverside and on which now stretch thousands of acres of orange groves, was the first witness. His father, a Frenchman, in 1847, bought what in 1838 was the great grant to Don Juan Bandini. Rubidoux battled with the Americans in the war for California's independence, and fought against the great Spanish landowners.
How his father sold land on the "old mesa" which is Riverside, for 50 cents an acre, was told by Rubidoux, who was born 61 years ago in what is now West Riverside, which is still his home. Rubidoux told of the water conditions as he remembered them as a boy.

On Nov. 1, 1919, Abundo's wife, Rosario, died at the age of 68 in Ontario, San Bernardino County, CA.
