The Settlement of Yerba Buena, was the original name of
what Californian City?
Hint:
The City Police Dept has the rank of Inspector (detective)
and if unlucky in the movies could encounter a Fictional Inspector
with a Model 29 S&W revolver.
The City motto (which is also on the City Police Dept Badges)
is Oro en paz, fierro en guerra
Spanish for Gold in peace, iron in war.
If you're going to that City, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
according to one 1960s song

What was the brother's name? |
Pierre Lafitte was a pirate in the Gulf of Mexico and smuggler in the early 19th century. He also ran a blacksmith shop in New Orleans, his legitimate business. Pierre was historically less well known than his younger brother, Jean Lafitte.
