memorable words Of this sanity hero
when he planted the first cross In
American California. and his faith
was SO amply rewarded that he had
the happiness Of erecting eight mis-
sions before his death. The combina-
ton of fervor and enthusiasm. power
and sense, produced rapid results.
Most of the chain of missions. from
San Diego through Monterey to the
Golden Gate. were established in the
last 80 years Of the 18th century.
After the founding of San Diego. the
mission Of San Carlos. near Monterey.
