Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Villeraye, Charles Stanislas, Viscount de 1820- (search)
Villeraye, Charles Stanislas, Viscount de 1820- Adventurer; born in Provence, France, presumably about 1820; went to California in 1849; joined Count de Raousset-Boulbon in the Restauroda enterprise established in Mexico in 1852, for the purpose of mining gold in a grant given by the Mexican government. Villeraye was commissioned to equip an expedition in San Francisco, where he was later joined by Raousset. They reached Guaymas in June, 1852, with 270 armed men, but their entrance into the country was prevented by General Blanco. They then marched to Hermosillo, which they attacked, thus arousing the whole country against them, and were compelled to surrender to Blanco. Soon afterwards Villeraye, Raousset, and a few others returned to San Francisco. The trouble was renewed when Raousset forwarded recruits to Algodones, near Guaymas, in 1854. While leading a movement against the latter place on July 13, 1854, Villeraye was killed.
