Brief History of California

Curator of the Historical Society of Southern California. Secretary of Pioneers Society of Los Angeles, Cal. Member of the American Historical Association.
SPANISH ERA.
CHAPTER I. DISCOVERY.
Romance enters into the story of California with its very beginning. When Gonzales de Sandoval, in 1524, gave Cortes an account of a wonderful island, ten days westward from the Pacific coast of Mexico, in- habited by women only, and ex- ceedingly rich in pearls and gold, he no doubt derived his informa- tion from Montalvo's romance, "The Sergas of Esplandian." Cortes seems to have given cred- ence to his lieutenant's story, and to have kept in view the discov- ery of this wonderful island, Cali- fornia. The discovery by For- tuno Jiminez, in 1534, of what is now known as the peninsula of Lower California, but which was then supposed to be an island, no doubt confirmed in Cortes' mind the truth of Sandoval's story told him a decade before. For, did not the island of Jiminez, like the island in Montalvo's fiction, lie on the right hand of the Indies- J. M. GUINN or of where the Indies were then supposed to be? Pearls were found on it and gold, and-the Amazons must be there, too.
Fortuno Jiminez, the discoverer of Lower California, was chief pilot on one of the two ships which Cortez, in 1533, fitted out to explore the

HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA
northwest coast of Mexico. A mutiny broke out on the ship commanded by Becerro de Mendoza. Mendoza was killed and his friends forced to go ashore at Jalisco. The mutineers, commanded by Jiminez, sailed westerly away from the coast of the main land. After several days' sailing out of the sight of land they discovered what they supposed to be an island. They landed at a place now known as La Paz, in Lower California, and there Jiminez and twenty of his followers were killed by the Indians. The few survivors of the ill-fated crew managed to navigate the vessel back to Jalisco where they reported the discovery of an island rich in pearls.
Cortes, hearing the report and probably believing the island to be the California of the story, fitted out an expedition to colonize it. With three ships and a number of soldiers and settlers, he landed in May, 1535, at the place where Jiminez was killed, which he named Santa Cruz; but instead of an island peopled with women who lived after the manner of the Amazons and whose arms and trappings were made of gold, he found a sterile coun- try inhabited by the most abject and degraded of human beings. Disaster after disaster fell upon the unfortunate colony. Some of the ships sent to bring supplies were wrecked and others driven out of their course. Some of the colonists died from starvation before the supplies reached them and others died from overeating afterward. After two years of struggling against mis- fortune. Cortes abandoned the attempt and the wretched colonists were brought back to Mexico. Thus ended the first attempt to colonize Cali- fornia.
Sometime between 1535 and 1537 the name California was applied to the land still supposed to be an island : but whether Cortes applied it in the hope of encouraging his colonists, or whether the country was so named in de- rison, is not known. The name was subsequently applied to all the land along the Pacific Coast northward to 42 degrees, the limit of the Spanish possessions.
The vast unexplored regions to the northward of that portion of Mexico which he had conquered had a fascination for Cortes. He dreamed of finding in them empires vaster and richer than those he had already subdued. For years he had fitted out explorations by sea and by land to explore this terra incognita : but failure after failure wrecked his hopes and impoverished his purse. The last of these parties sent out by him was the one commanded by Francisco de Ulloa. Ulloa, in 1539, sailed up the Gulf of California on the Sonora side to its head, and then down the inner coast of Lower California to the cape at its extremity which he doubled and then sailed up the outer coast to Cabo de Engano (Cape of Deceit). Here the two vessels of the expe- dition, after being tossed and buffeted by head winds, parted company in a storm. The smaller, the Aguedo, returned to Santiago. Of the other, the Trinidad, directly under Ulloa's command, nothing is definitely known, nor of I'lloa's fate. The only thing accomplished by this voyage was to demon-
