ChristianGUEST
To get on the good side of the Mexicans, Wolfskill decided that he was going to track down the horse thieves and teach them a lesson.
ChristianGUEST
Okay, so what happens next? Wolfskill and his crew track the horses to Black Star Canyon, right near here, where they discover the Tongva feasting on the horses around a campfire.
ChristianGUEST
Even though they're incredibly outnumbered, they still proceed with the ambush.
ChristianGUEST
How did the ambush go? They overwhelmed the Tangbas.
ChristianGUEST
All right, so what wound up happening with the Tongva? Did they stay? Did they fight? What happened? Tongva eventually leave.

Then in 1878, a company called the Black Star Coal Mining Company discovered coal deposits in the area.
ChristianGUEST
They opened a mine at the mouth of the canyon, hence the name Black Star Canyon.
ChristianGUEST
They mined there for years on and off until the early 1900s, at which point the whole operation shuts down.
