CHAPTER VII
JUNIPERO SERRA
THE oustanding figure of his time in California was Junipero Serra, President of the California Missions. Born November 24, 1713, in the village of Petra on the island of Majorca, one of the Balearic Isles, off the east coast of Spain, and baptized Miguel Jose, he took the name of Junipero upon entering the Franciscan Order. His selection of a name is an index to his nature. It was that of a lay brother, who was a disciple and associate of St. Francis at Assisi, and had become renowned for his devotion to the poor.
Father Serra early developed a deep religious fervor, and with the consent of his superiors, dedicated his life to missionary work. In 1749, at the age of thirty-six, with the spirit of a crusader highly developed, and with a considerable reputation for appealing eloquence, he went to New Spain. Twenty years later, at the age of ​fifty-six, after several years at the Franciscan college of San Fernando at Mexico City, and a number of years at the Missions of northeastern Mexico, he was appointed President of the California Missions, and as such, joined
Portola in the Monterey expedition.
In Serra was centered a rare combination of religious zeal of almost fanatical intensity, a gift of persuasive speech, high intellectual endowment, untiring and ceaseless energy, sound and practical judgment, and execu​tive ability of a high order. Naturally kind and gentle in manner and speech, he was none the less bold and courageous in asserting and maintaining his missionary rights against secular encroachment. To this man,
thus endowed,
fell the mighty
task of
bringing into obedient subjection a numerous native race, without the aftermath of hatred and revenge that usually flows from military conquest. The presence of soldiers
in California
was
deemed
essential,
but
the
great civilizing influence exerted by Spain over the native population was through her missionaries. The Presidio stood guard, but its active aid was seldom invoked. Spain had learned the value of the spiritual appeal. The Mission as a means of conquest and civilization was a plant of slow growth. It had its feeble and unorganized origin in the closing years of the sixteenth century, gradually developed in the Spanish provinces of America, with most rapid growth in Paraguay, and in 1769 had reached full flower, and was recognized
and
utilized as the most effective agency for the civilization of the natives of Spanish America, and for the winning
of their good will.
Two
distinct motives actuated the
movement, and combined to accelerate its development.
The aim and purpose of the Catholic priesthood were to convert the native, and to save his soul; that of the gov-
ernmental authorities, to civilize and control him.
Thus
the Presidio, while deemed an essential factor, became second in importance to the Mission.

CHAPTER XIX
A CONTENTED ARCADIA
A remote Mexican province became a great American commonwealth. With characteristic American haste and expedition, a state constitution was adopted, members of Congress chosen, a state legislature
elected
and
convened,
a
code
of
state laws enacted, and United States Senators selected and their credentials presented at Washington, all before our national Congress had admitted California into the Union, or even provided a territorial form of government. Indeed, so urgent and insistent were California’s impetuous pioneers that on September 9, 1850, without territorial probation, the new Eldorado was en-
dowed by Congressional authority with all the powers and privileges of a sovereign state. The Argonauts of *49 found some twenty thousand contented Californians enjoying the delightful tranquil182 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/205 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/206 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/207 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/208 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/209 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/210 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/211 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/212 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/213 ​Page:Dawn and the Dons.pdf/214 ​ ​cupation, and still retained much of the flavor of the pastoral days of Spanish California.” ‘Then remembering the girlhood days spent there in the time of Stevenson and Stoddard, she adds, “Those were dolce far niente days at Monterey, dreamy romantic days, spent beneath the bluest sky, beside the bluest sea, and in the
best company on earth, and all glorified by the rainbow hues of youth.”
And the spell that caught and held Vizcaino three hundred years ago, and which is so feelingly expressed by Mrs. Sanchez, still lives at Monterey. The Monterey peninsula has ever been, and probably will ever be a playground. Stock raising has been driven into the near-by mountains, whence radiates something of the old pastoral charm of equestrian days. The numerous fishing fleet of small boats that daily rides at anchor in the Monterey harbor adds a peculiar and pleasing picturesqueness to the town. There is no other industry on the peninsula of sufficient importance to merit special attention. ​The call of the Monterey peninsula was never industrial.
Its lure has ever been a genial sky, a delightful
playground and pleasure loving companions. Its dwellers have increased in number; outdoor pleasures have multiplied; and this perennial playground of the Don has taken on new life and color. But the spirit of the Don still abides, and old Spain lingers on.
# Dawn and the Dons/Forward

FOREWORD
A few years ago I lived for a time at the Hotel Del Monte, during which period I became intimately familiar with the Monterey Peninsula. Its beauty and its charm caught me. The delightful days revealed a climatic excellence of which I had often heard, but concerning which I had hitherto reserved some doubt. I became a frequent visitor to this circle of enchantment and came to have a genuine love for it.
I knew in general way something of its romantic history—enough to make me want to know more. I began reading about it; and as I read my interest grew. I talked about it with those who, like myself, had been caught by its magic lure.
I frequently discussed its unique history with Mr. Samuel F. B. Morse, himself a profound student of history and whose love for the Monterey Peninsula had led him to select it for his permanent home.
He it was who persuaded me to undertake a thorough and painstaking study of this playground of California, ​and under his encouragement and with his aid I have essayed to record its history.
I am indebted to Miss Emma A. Wilson of the State Teachers College at Chico, California, for valuable help. Miss Wilson generously placed at my disposal the result of her elaborate research into California history; and her many suggestions have been of inestimable value.
I am also greatly indebted to Mr. Perry Newberry, the well known writer of Carmel, upon whose knowledge of literary craftsmanship I have been permitted to draw in the preparation of the manuscript for the printer.
The illustrations of Jo Mora need no encomium from me. Their artistic excellence is supplemented by a faithfulness of detail that gives to them a real historic value. Mr. Mora has placed me under a deep and lasting obligation which I cannot hope to repay but which I gratefully acknowledge.
I believe I have read everything of any historic value that has been written about California—all of which was intensely interesting reading—and I have diligently sought every available source of information fromwhich dependable data could be obtained. I believe I have gathered every essential fact connected with the history of California.
For two and half centuries following the discovery of the Harbor of Monterey by Vizcaino in 1602, the history of California centered about the Monterey Peninsula, whence radiated all the activities of that time—social, religious and industrial. ​During this long period of Spanish and Mexican rule the history of the Monterey Peninsula was the history of California. With American occupation in 1846 and the discovery of gold in 1848, the center of historic significance shifted to San Francisco, but the romantic days of Spanish chivalry moved on in happy sequence at Monterey, and the joyous spirit of that elder time still finds its full expression on the Monterey Peninsula.
The gathering of the material and the writing of the story have been for me a labor of infinite delight. I can only hope that the reader may find in reading it some portion of the pleasure I have found in writing it.

Sir, here's Govind Ghosa come.
Here, you who said you would pay that money in Agrahayon; that was all a deceitful excuse. You are a very bad man to deal with. Go and fetch the money.
What you have said, Sir, is all true, indeed; but I am unmanageable upon certain occasions. What can I say? there is no path for words. You have forborne so long, now have patience twenty days more. When I have reaped my rice I will bring and pay the money on the fifth of Magh. You must look over these few days. If you beat me, or cut me to pieces now, what will it do?

Yes, Sir, I am Ram-Roodra. I took of you twenty rupees advance for rice.
What is to be expected from rice? Without more rain you cannot plant it. Give back the money.
What can I do, Sir? I have planted half the land. When there is a little more rain, I will plant the whole.
Hear; you are a very idle fellow. Other people's fields are planted, what's the reason that yours is not?
Sir, you know the whole. My daughter's wedding is just over; that took ten days. After that a gentleman came and impressed me, and took me away three days. He beat me severely, and afterwards paid me nothing. I am helpless. What can I do?
Hear; do you give back my money with interest, otherwise I will put a peon over you.

I shall not mind what you say. Pay half the money to-day.
I cannot. My father is dead: the day after to-morrow will be his shraddha, and the brahmun will not perform that without fifteen rupees; and ten or a dozen people also must be entertained. I must sell about seven cattle to do that. There is no end to my trouble.
If you sell your cattle, how am I to be paid? You have no more property in your house.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Anderson, Lucy

​ANDERSON, LUCY (1790–1878), musician, the daughter of Mr. John Philpot, a music-seller, was born at Bath in December 1790. She received her first musical instruction from her father, who intended her to adopt the harp as her instrument, but, in spite of the weakness of sight from which she always suffered, she soon made such progress with the pianoforte as to appear as a solo player at a very early age. She played at a concert at Weymouth for the benefit of Bannister in 1802, and soon after coming to London (about 1818) was regularly engaged at all the principal concerts. In 1820 she married George Frederick Anderson, a distinguished violinist, and for some time master of the queen's private band. In 1829 Mrs. Anderson played at the Birmingham festival, and continued to play in public until 1862. As a teacher she was much sought after, and numbered amongst her pupils the queen and other members of the royal family. Mrs. Anderson was the first female pianist who appeared at the Phil​harmonic concerts, and was also the first pianist to introduce into England many of the great works of Beethoven, Hummel, and other composers. Judged by the modern standard of pianoforte playing, she might have been considered deficient in executive power, but this was amply atoned for by the breadth of her style, her powers of expression and feeling, and her excellent touch and phrasing. She was on the best terms with Cherubini, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Hummel, and many other great musicians with whom she came in contact in the course of her long career. After amassing a considerable fortune, she retired from public life in 1862. She died 24 Dec. 1878.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Anderson, Patrick (fl.1618-1635)

​ANDERSON, PATRICK (fl. 1618–1635), physician, was author of ‘The Colde Spring of Kinghorne Craig, his admirable and new tryed properties so far foorth as yet are found true by experience’ (1618), dedicated to John, earl of Mar; and a very rare book called ‘Grana Angelica; hoc est, Pilularum hujus nominis insignis utilitas, quibus etiam accesserunt alia quædam paucula de durioris Alvi incommodis propter materiæ cognitionem, ac vice supplementi in fine adjuncta,’ Edinburgh, 12mo, 1635. The latter describes some mild aperient pills, the prescription for which Anderson says that he brought from Venice, which continued in 1843 to be sold in Edinburgh by the proprietor of an ancient patent. In 1625 Anderson saw through the press a religious work, called ‘The Countesse of Marres Arcadia,’ written by James Caldwoode, minister of Falkirk, and to it he prefixed a long dedicatory epistle addressed to the Countess of Mar, one of his patients. He wrote a history of Scotland in three folio volumes, preserved in manuscript in the Advocates' Library. After his death Anderson's friends published a satirical dramatic poem by him, entitled ‘The Copie of a Baron's Court, newly translated by Whats-you-call-him, clerk to the same. Printed at Helicon beside Parnassus, and are to be sold in Caledonia.’ This piece was reprinted in a limited edition in 1821, and to it an account of the author was prefixed. ​In several of his works Anderson is described as physician to Charles I.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Anderson, Joseph

​ANDERSON, JOSEPH (1789–1877), lieutenant-colonel, a veteran officer and leading colonist in Victoria, was born in 1789, and in 1805 was appointed to an ensigncy in the new 2nd battalion (since disbanded) of the 78th Highlanders, with which he served in Sicily, in the descent on Calabria and the battle of Maida in 1806, and in the luckless expedition against the Turks in Egypt in 1807. As a lieutenant in the 24th foot he fought in the Peninsular campaigns between 1809 and 1812, at Talavera, where he was wounded, at Busaco, at the defence of Torres Vedras, at Fuentes d'Onor, and in many minor engagements. In 1812 he was promoted to a company in the York chasseurs, a corps for West India service recruited chiefly from foreigners, and with it he was present at the recapture of Guadaloupe in 1815. The island had hoisted the tricolor on receipt of the news of Napoleon's return from Elba, and as the garrison refused to treat, the place was attacked and taken, after some sharp fighting, by a British force under General Sir J. Leith, seven weeks after the battle of Waterloo. Lieutenant-colonel Anderson was subsequently in the 50th foot, with which he served long in Australia and India. He was many years military commandant and civil governor of the penal settlement at Norfolk Island, and commanded a brigade in the Gwalior campaign of 1843, where he was wounded at the battle of Punniar. After forty-three years' hard service he retired from the army in 1848, and became a squatter on the Goulburn river soon after the erection of Victoria into a separate colony in 1850, and was made a member of the legislative council of Victoria in 1852. He died at his residence, Fairlie House, South Yarra, on 18 July 1877. His son, Colonel William Acland Anderson, C.M.G., who was once a subaltern in his father's regiment, was for some time commissioner at the Gold Fields, and succeeded the late Major-General Dean Pitt as commandant of the volunteer forces of Victoria.
