# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Ugarte, Juan

Edition of 1889.
​UGARTE, Juan (oo-gar'-tay), Mexican clergyman, b. in San Miguel, Teguzigalpa, Honduras. 22 July, 1662 ; d. in San Pablo, Sonora, 29 Dec, 1730. ne entered the Society of Jesus in August, 1679, and was afterward professor of Latin in Zacatecas and of philosophy in Mexico, where he learned the Indian languages. In 1700 he devoted himself to the. Californian missions, and spent about thirty years in evangelizing the natives. Finding that the guard of soldiers that accompanied him deterred them from approaching him, he dismissed it after reaching the country of the Yaquis, where he founded the missions of San Javier, San Pablo, Santa Rosalia, and San Miguel. He then joined Father Salvatierra in Loreto, and was successful in his missionary labors, teaching the natives agriculture, the art of spinning and weaving, how to build cottages, and even how to prepare vessels for sea. In 1705 he visited the coast of Sinaloa to find a good port for the Manilla fleet, but without success, and .in 1708 was directed by the Spanish government to explore the Gulf of California. With the aid of his converts, he built a vessel which he called the "Triumph of the Cross," and manned it with twenty-six Chinese and native Californians. He landed among the Tepoquis and Seris, by whom he was well received, and reached the mouth of Colorado river, which violent storms prevented him from ascending. After encountering many dangers, the little vessel returned to Loreto. Ugarte was successful in the object of his mission. He proved that California was a peninsula, gave for the first time a proper idea of the coast, and noted such places as would be afterward suitable for missionary stations. He subsequently founded several missions, of which the principal were San Luis de Gonzaga, consisting of two villages, and Our Lady of Guadalupe, of six villages. He wrote "Noticia del Viage de la Balandra nombrada el Triumfo de la Santa Cruz, hecho en 1709 al Golfo de Californias, y Costa del Sur de la America Septentrional" and "Diarios, Relaciones, y Cartas ae las Cosas de Californias." Miguel Venegas used these manuscripts in his "Historia de Californias."

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Uffenbach, Bernard von

Edition of 1900. This is a fictitious person. Prince Liechtenstein's name is misspelled, while the subject's collections in natural history are mentioned as being preserved in the museum at Vienna, but the Vienna Museum of Natural History was not founded until 1889, i.e. 130 years after the subject's date of death.
​UFFENBACH, Bernard von (oof-fen-bok). German historian, b. in Liebenthal in 1691; d. in Vienna in 1759. He received his education at Vienna, became a Jesuit when he was twenty-three years of age, and in 1722 was sent to the South American missions. After residing for some time at Montevideo, where he learned the Indian tongues, he became a missionary among the Guaranis, with whom he lived about twenty years. He also studied the customs, manners, and habits of the Indians, took detailed notes of his observations and of the natural resources of the country, and formed valuable collections in natural history. He returned to Germany about 1745, and was presented to Prince Lichtenstein, who appointed him librarian. Father Uffenbach lived in Vienna, became a favorite in society, and was received at the imperial court, where he narrated stories of Indian life and the experiences of the early Spanish adventurers. His works include “Historia de Guaranibus” (2 vols., Vienna, 1755), and “Guarani Lexicon,” which is considered as the only reliable monument that is left of the Guarani language (1756). In his “Litteræannuæ Societatis Jesu,” sent from South America from 1739 till 1744, and afterward collected and edited by Johann Theophilus Büshing (1785), are to be found interesting details about the country of the Guaranis and the Jesuit missions in South America. Uffenbach's collections in natural history are preserved in the museum at Vienna, and were utilized for an “Historia naturalis Americæ meridionalis” (4 vols., Vienna, 1790).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Uhland, Maximilian

Edition of 1889.
​UHLAND, Maximilian (oo'-lond), called Father Bernardino de San José, German missionary, b. near Crefeld about 1475; d. in Mexico in 1538. He became a Franciscan friar, and, being assigned to the American missions, went to Hispaniola in 1520 with the newly appointed Bishop Geraldini. After learning the Indian language, he was attached to a mission in the interior, but as he opposed the policy of the conquerors, which brought about the depopulation of the island, he was ordered to leave the country, and went to New Spain in 1526. There he was appointed guardian of the newly founded convent of Santiago de Tlaltelolco, but subsequently he was sent to labor in Guatemala. In 1535 he was a member of the commission headed by Father Betanzos which laid before Pope Paul III. the wretched condition of the Indians. Uhland, who was a Latinist of reputation, was instructed to speak before the congregation of the propaganda, and induced the pope to issue his celebrated bull entitled “Veritas Ipsa,” This for a time improved the condition of the Indians, but the prompters of the bull were never forgiven by the Spanish authorities, and Uhland, to avoid persecution, on his return to Mexico did not leave his convent till his death. He left a valuable manuscript, which is preserved in the National library at Paris, entitled “Historia de la fundación de la provinciá de Santiago de Tlaltelolco.”
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Tupac-Amaru

Edition of 1889.
​TUPAC-AMARU (too'-pak-ah'-mah-roo), member of the Peruvian inca family, b. in Cuzco about 1540; d. there in 1573. He was the second son of Manco Inca Yupanqui, who, after the execution of Atahualpa, had been recognized by Pizarro as successor to the throne. After his father's death the eldest son, Sayri-Tupac, submitted to the Spanish rule, and was baptized and rewarded by a tract of land and an Indian commandery at Urubamba; but Tupac-Amaru refused to renounce his family claims, and retired to the mountains of Vilcabamba. When Sayri-Tupac died, the family claims devolved upon Tupac-Amaru, and as the Indians recognized him as the legitimate successor to the throne of the incas, the viceroy, Francisco de Toledo, resolved to capture the prince. In 1572, under pretext of sending auxiliaries to Chili, he ordered 250 men to march against the district of Vilcabamba, where they began hostilities against Tupac-Amaru. The latter resisted in self-defence, and, after he had been defeated several times, and his means of subsistence had been cut off, fled with his family and some followers to the mountain-fastnesses, where he thought himself secure. But receiving notice of his retreat, Capt. Martin de Loyola, with twenty men, crossed at night the mountain-stream that defended the inca's retreat, and captured the camp by surprise, carrying the unhappy prince with his family as prisoners to Cuzco. There the judge, Gabriel Loarte, by the viceroy's order, began a criminal process against Tupac, under the pretext that he had incited an armed revolt, and he was condemned to death and beheaded at Cuzco, while his children were transported as prisoners to Spain. — The name Tupac-Amaru II. was adopted by Jose Gabriel Condorcanqui, who, claiming to be a lineal descendant of the incas, raised a rebellion against the Spaniards in 1780, and was executed in 1781.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Moss, John Calvin

Edition of 1900.
​MOSS, John Calvin, inventor, b. near Bentleysville, Pa., 5 Jan., 1838; d. in New York city, 8 April, 1892. He received a common-school education, and became a printer, publishing “The Colleaguer” in Washington, Pa. Meanwhile he became interested in photographic chemistry, and devoted considerable attention to the subject of photo-engraving. He experimented for many years, and finally, while in Philadelphia, obtained a relief plate from which printed impressions could be made. In 1863 he came to New York and continued his experiments in perfecting the process. Having interested various persons in the enterprise, he founded the Actinic engraving company in 1870, and became its superintendent. In 1872 he became the superintendent of the Photoengraving company, which office he held until 1880, when he established the Moss engraving company, of which he became president and superintendent. The present corporation owns the largest plant of its kind in the world, and its work is a substitute for wood-engraving, accomplished by chemical means. Mr. Moss was the first to make photo-engraving a practical business success, and while his methods have never been patented, he is known as the inventor of what is called the “Moss process,” “Moss new process,” and the “moss-type process.”

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Muir, John

Edition of 1900. Supplement.
MUIR, John, naturalist, b. in Dunbar, Scotland, 21 April, 1838. His father, Daniel, was a grain merchant, and on the side of his mother, Anne Gilrye, he is descended from the ancient
family of Gilderoy. When he was twelve years old, in 1850, he came to this country with his father, who settled in the wilderness near Fox river, Wisconsin. The boy worked on the farm, read, and studied out inventions such as mill-wheels and wooden clocks. He entered the University of Wisconsin in 1860, and there pursued a scientific course. At the end of his four years he set out on a botanizing tour, wandering in the southern states, in Cuba, and in California, where he settled in April, 1868, making the Yosemite his home. He had planned to explore the Amazon valley and to classify its flora, but malaria forced him to abandon his purpose. Here he continued his studies in natural history, supporting himself by herding sheep or working in a saw-mill. He saved a few hundred dollars, and then devoted himself to a systematic survey of the Sierras. In 1876 he joined a party connected with the geodetic survey of the Great Basin, and three years later, in 1879, he made a tour of exploration in Alaska, where he discovered the great glacier that is now named after him. In 1881 he was one of the party on the “Corwin” in search of the crew of the lost “Jeannette.” He was one of the first to make known the beauties of the Yosemite, and it was due in no small measure to his papers on “The Treasures of the Yosemite” in the “Century” for August and September, 1890, that the Yosemite national park was established by the government. In 1896 he was made an honorary A. M. by Harvard. Mr. Muir has written for the “Atlantic,” “Harper's,” “Overland Monthly,” and “Scribner's,” and he published in book-form “The Mountains of California” (New York, 1894).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Munk, Jans

Edition of 1900. In the 1888 edition he is referred to as Hans Munk.
​MUNK, Jans, Danish navigator, b. in Elsinore in 1589; d. in the Arctic ocean, 23 June, 1628. He followed his father's calling, that of a pilot, and had acquired great reputation, making yearly voyages from Denmark and Norway to the northern shores of America when King Christian IV., in 1619, sent him to find the northwestern route to the Indies, whose existence the recent discoveries of Hudson and Baffin were supposed to prove beyond doubt. Sailing from Elsinore, on 16 May, 1619, with two ships and 64 men, Munk sighted Cape Farewell on 20 June, and penetrated Davis strait, advancing as far north as 69°. Returning southward when the ice-fields began to make navigation dangerous, he entered Chesterfield inlet, in New Wales, which he named Munk's Vinterhavn. He had given new names to Hudson and Baffin bay, caliing the former Mare Christianeum, and the latter Mare Novum. On his charts Davis strait is designated as Fretum Christianeum, and all the fiords and islets of the southern coast of Greenland bear Latin names. Cold and famine gradually lessened the number of the explorers, and in the spring of 1620 Munk and two of his crew were the only survivors. Their situation was desperate, yet they managed to repair the smaller ship, and taking as provisions the frozen bodies of their dead comrades, they made sail, and after sixty days sighted again the coast of Norway, on 20 Sept., 1620. The adventures of Munk excited universal interest. Subscription-lists were circulated and the money for a second expedition was soon raised. Munk set out again in March, 1621, advanced as far as 75° north latitude, and said, on his return to Elsinore in June, 1623, that he had seen, farther north, an open sea, which the icebergs, and especially the want of provisions, prevented his reaching. This assertion was then discredited, but cannot now be denied. Munk afterward resumed his trade, made voyages from Denmark to North America, and died at sea during a third expedition to the arctic regions. He published the narrative of his first expedition under the title “Efterretuing af navigationen og reisen til den Nye Danmark af Styrmand Hans Munk” (Copenhagen, 1623; enlarged ed., 1627). This work enjoyed great reputation for more than a century, and was translated into German (Frankfort, 1650); Dutch (Amsterdam, 1678); French (1680); English (London, 1685), and other languages.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Mott, Richard
