Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A California Pilgrimage The following pages do not purport to be a history of Missions, but only what the title implies - a visit to the old shrines. To local descriptions and legends are added such allusions to familiar events of Mission history as seemed desirable, with such fragmentary thoughts as would naturally be suggested to minds appreciative of the only bits of antiquity to be found in this new land. The reader will remember that Junípero Serra was the first Franciscan missionary who came to Alta California. Having been appointed President of the future Missions, he arrived on the shore of San Diego Bay, with a few brother Franciscans and a small band of Spanish soldiers, in 1769. There he founded the first of those Missions, which, in turn, became the foundation of civilization on this coast. Soon after the arrival of the Spaniards in San Diego, Capt. Portola, with a portion of the devoted band, started on an overland journey for Monterey. In their wanderings they came to San Francisco Bay, and claimed it for Spain and the saint whose name it bears. At various stations between the two bays, Missions were established, to which Father Serra devoted himself with unremitting fervor until his death in 1784. The work was then carried on by men inspired with the same zeal for God and the King of Spain, until a series of political changes, culminating about the year 1840, utterly destroyed the power of the Missions.
