This episode picks up at the end of the U.S. campaign in California, as the military shifted from combat operations to controlling and organizing newly claimed territory. We follow the final actions of Commodore Stockton and Captain Archibald Gillespie as they transition out of California and back to Washington.
We also dig into the larger impact of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the growing global role of the Marine Corps, and the leadership legacy of Commandant Archibald Henderson.
