The March of Portolá and the Log of the San Carlos - Zoeth S. Eldredge & E. J. Molera

Introduction:
The authors describe the first settlement of Monterey by the Spanish, and the surveying of San Francisco Bay. The land expedition made several wrong turns on the way to Monterey, including not recognizing the bay as a useful harbor, in their first two visits. This is my 29th Project Guttenberg title.
