As Mary Austin, who encountered Edward Fitzgerald Beale in the late 18805, later wrote of him in her autobiography Earth Horizon (1932), the general embodied the best possibilities of the American establishment: an Easterner of education and family, an officer and a gentleman, a pioneer distinguished by ambassadorial service in Vienna. For thirty years and more, Beale kept vital on the Tejon an American recapitulation of the previous social order. Given the rapidity of change, Southern California had need of this reminder of how it had been in the days of Hispanic possession and the early American frontier.
Two of the most famous pioneers of Southern California, Phineas Banning and Remi Nadeau, were associated with the Tejon because of the transportation business. From the late 18505 onward Banning, then later Nadeau, operated a mule-drawn freight-hauling service along the Los Angeles-Fort Tejon road, a road made more easily passable by heavily loaded wagons thanks to the passageway General Beale cut through a sandstone hill three miles below Newhall. The general stationed two yoke of oxen and a drover at the Beale Cut to help pull wagons up the incline.

Warner became, in 1883, the first president of the Historical Society of Southern California, a beloved figure from Southern California's founding time. Benjamin Davis Wilson became rich. His rise to Southern California prominence in the 1846-76 period is an epic of ordinary talent and extraordinary aspiration: a Southern California story typical of the generation which inherited and inhabited the land-grant ranches and made them work in American terms.
