notes:
|
Chosen as the chaplain for Captain Juan Bautista de Anza's colonizing expedition to San Francisco in 1775, Font kept extensive diaries which included travel distances and names and locations of landmarks. His diary, the extended manuscript version of which is at the John Carter Brown Library, is considered the best account of Anza's expedition to establish a Spanish base on the North American west coast.This diary is dated Tubutama, May 11, 1777, in text.
