This oak tree at the Catalina Verdugo adobe in Glendale was General Andres Pico's camp site before he surrendered to General John C. Fremont. Here was drafted the Treaty of Cahuenga on January 12, 1847, signed the following day in Cahuenga Pass. When the home was owned by Dr. and Mrs. Ernest G. Bashor, they named it "El Roble de la Paz" (the oak of peace).
