A Bibliographical History Of Some Exploring Expeditions In California 1786 1837 PDF Download

Excerpt from Diary of Gaspar De Portolá During the California Expedition of 1769-1770 The document here printed for the first time contains the diary of Captain Gaspar de Portola from May 11, 1769, to January 24, 1770, during which period he was in command of the expedition to San Diego and Monterey. The manuscript from which the present text has been pre pared came into the possession of the University of California with the Bancroft Collection in 1905. It had been previously acquired by Mr. Hubert Howe Bancroft from M. Alphonse Pinart, who, it may be presumed from the autograph note on the cover, had obtained it in the City of Mexico on October 10, 1881.
