Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Any one interested in the history of California from the time of the Spanish and Mexican regime can find ample means for their research in Bancroft’s History, to be found in the public library of Santa Cruz. It will be conceded, no doubt, that California was discovered by several navigators, but nothing materialized from the discovery until later years, during our own times, in which we are much more interested.
