Synopsis
Excerpt from Father Escobar's Relation of the Oņate Expedition to California, Vol. 5
We traveled ten or twelve leagues along the banks of this river to its source? And having journeyed from there almost sixteen leagues west, we came to ano ther river, which was called San Andres 34 because it was discovered on that day. It runs toward the west between the high and very rough ranges, which are bare and without vegetation, all being almost bald rock. This may be due to the heat Of the summer, which, judging from the appearance of the country, is great. Ordinarily the river does not carry water, except for short distances, where it bursts or gushes out from the sand, although it shows signs Of great freshets.36 From this river onward the country has a different climate, for it does not snow and has no manner Of cold, nor did we feel any, although it was midwinter, being in the month Of December.
Traveling along this river, almost always in its bed, for its banks were almost all Of rocky cliffs, we arrived, after traveling twenty leagues}:6 at another river.
