Publisher's Synopsis
""The Gabriel Moraga Expedition of 1806: The Diary of Fray Pedro Munoz"" is a historical account of the journey undertaken by a group of Spanish explorers led by Gabriel Moraga in 1806. The book is based on the diary of Fray Pedro Munoz, a Franciscan friar who accompanied the expedition. Munoz's diary provides a detailed and fascinating account of the journey, which took the group from the San Joaquin Valley in California to the Sacramento Valley and beyond. Along the way, they encountered numerous Native American tribes and faced many challenges, including harsh weather, difficult terrain, and scarce resources. Munoz's diary also provides insight into the Spanish colonial system and the interactions between the Spanish and Native American peoples. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known period in California's history, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the Spanish colonial period.This Article Is Contained In The Volume IX, Number 3, May 1946 Issue Of The Huntington Library Quarterly: A Journal For The History And Interpretation Of English And American History.
