The Discovery of San Francisco Bay: The Portolá Expedition of 1769-1770 / El Descubrimiento de la Bahía de San Francisco: La Expedición de Portolá de ... Miguel Costansó (English and Spanish Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
On July 14, 1769 the Portola Expedition started off into an unknown country.
They were the first Europeans to explore by land what is now California. In human history it is quite a short time from the Portola Expedition to the present day-- 223 years, some eight to ten generations. Most of what Miguel Costano saw has been transformed beyond belief and beyond imagining. But from the discovery site on Sweeney Ridge you can see Point Reyes and the white cliffs of Drakes Bay to the north-north-west, and the Farallon Islands to the west. And when you turn around you will behold the full sweep of the "magnificent estuary" that is San Francisco Bay, stretching toward the southeast.
