SUMMARY
On the afternoon of September 14, 1786, two French ships appeared off the coast of Monterey, the first foreign vessels to visit Spain's California colonies. Aboard was a party of eminent scientists, navigators, cartographers, illustrators, and physicians. For the next ten days the expedition's commander, Jean Francois de la Perouse, took detailed notes on the life and character of the area: its abundant wildlife, the labors of soldiers and monks, and the customs of Indians recently drawn into the mission. These observations provide a startling portrayal of California two centuries ago.De La Perouse, Jean F. is the author of 'Life in a California Mission Monterey in 1786 The Journals of Jean Francois De LA Perouse' with ISBN 9780930588397 and ISBN 0930588398.
