"In early June 1774, a lone Spanish vessel, the 225-ton frigate Santiago, sailed from Monterey Bay on a mission of great importance and secrecy. Romors of a Russian presence in Northwest America had helped spur Madrid five years earlier into launching a major effort to colonize Alta, or upper California. And now it was time to search the largely unknown coast stretching north as far as the sixteenth parallel for evidence of Russian settlements.Six documents of the controversial voayge ar e published here in English for the first time. These documents afford readers an opportunity to judge from themselves the sacale of Pérez's achievements or shortcomings on the 1774 voyage. Whatever the conclusion, there is no denying that Pérez and his men accomplished the first European reconnaissance of the coast along present-day British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon." - publisher.
