Thanks for this history video where you said: “They (Spanish) created a group of ships in 1555 that would sail looted treasure from Manila to Mexico called the Manila Galleon”. Actually the Manila Galleon was a trade route between two Spanish colonies: The Philippines and Mexico. Spanish sailors used the “Alisios” winds to sail their ships going one way at one latitude and using a different latitude for the return trip. That was the reason by Columbus had to sail south to the Canary Islands to catch the westerly winds. Those winds are now called in English “trade winds”The Manila Galleon lasted from 1565 to 1815, this is 250 years. This is more than the time that both the US and Mexico have as being independent countries.

Spain wasn’t interested in Alta California until the Spanish Missions, Presidios and Ranchos were established and even then it was regarded as a backwater, a Siberia type posting for those after land, fortune and madness. The Misiones were successful insofar a Priest can convert and co opt the local native population into the Spanish administration and by extension language and culture. It’s cheaper to send a priest, a few ranchers, some cattle and an official than to send 1000 armed men and pay them. The same applied in Mexico, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and Chile as in all Spanish colonies and dominions.

4th-grade teacher in California here - I am happy to have stumbled upon your series. It's been a tough year, and I am always looking for new and different ways to present information (and repeat myself) so it'll stick with the kids. Although we've read the text, I've told the stories and they've done projects, they are still missing some of the essential points. As for the critics out there, we don't do the "make a model of a mission" anymore, and we find it very important to present the Native Californian's side of the story. By the way, we do teach CA history from before Europeans to modern times. Maybe you were one of the kids that weren't paying attention.

Interesting to mention, the name - California - was first used by the men of Hernan Cortés when, in 1535, they firtst met Cabo San Lucas which is located on the southern part of Baja California Sur, Mexico. From there it reached the whole penninsula and today's northamerican land in about 80 years. During the late XVth century This beautiful name had been written by Garci Ordoñez de Montalvo on a famous Spanish Knighthood novel called - Las Sergas de Esplandian-, it was about the beautiful Queen Calafia and her Amazones who lived " on the right arm of the Indias".

Thank you for your first in a series of Spanish Colonial California. I am interested in a man called Francisco Reyes, who came to California in the 1780s. He was given the Los Angeles County by the King of Spain in the 1780s. You can find a biography on his life on Wikipedia. And also he listed in the first Los Angeles census, 1790, wikipedia. He arrived with his young matisto bride sometime in the 1780s. They had their first child in San Diego, I assume at the mission. Then a few years later, they went on to San Juan Capistranos' mission where they had their second child. They had their third child at the San Gabriel mission. When Francisco Reyes tried to claim the land, Los Angeles County, that the king of Spain had given him, it was occupied. So, he made a deal that the occupants could lease the land and went on to Santa Barbara where he bought more land and had another eleven children. I understand that he also bought land in San Francisco too. Can you tell me anymore about Francisco Reyes or his family?

I recommend a wonderful book called Tending the Wild, which describes in detail the culture of the California Indians prior to contact with Europeans. It goes into detail into the ways that they used fire to mold the landscape, the shared ethics between all the tribes, migratory patterns, foodways and food storage, etc. The point that made the biggest impact on me was that when Powell landed in California, he described it as a park-like place. The reason it looked park-like to him was because in fact, the California Indians cultivated and cared for practically every square inch of the California landscape. It looked very different then, without the impenetrable brush and undergrowth under the forests. Some native plants are considered to have evolved in tandem with the native humans, such that they became dependent on the humans for cultivation. There were over 200 separate languages in use. Land-use rights were very interesting because most peoples migrated during the year, and they would have land rights for a particular season in a particular place. So there was an annual patterned movement of the peoples. One of the shared ethics was that one never disturbed someone else's food cache. This book is unusual and extremely informative. And the answer to your question is, we know a lot more about Native California than is represented by most history books and certainly that Wiki article. www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520280434/tending-the-wild

I'm really pleased to see this series--I've always said our state's history reads more like a novel than anything else. And kudos for starting with pre-history. Looking forward to seeing the reset of the series: I particularly like the graphics, especially the historic ones, you've used. There is one easy and obvious improvement: work on the pronunciation of historic figures' names. Here's the ones I noted, and their accepted English pronunciations. Well, California English, which is close to the original Spanish. Note: Read these out loud. The capitalized syllables are emphasized. Person: Sebastian Vizcaino Pronunciation on audio: "suh-baas-tee-an Vahs-KAIN-oh" Standard pronunciation: seh-bahs-tee-AHN vees-cah-EEN-oh" Person: Gaspar Portola Pronunciation on audio: gahs-pahr PORTAH-lah (this one's especially unfortunate: sounds a bit like a Porta-Potty) Standard pronunciation: gahs-pahr por-toh-LAH (note the long "O" in the second syllable of the last name) Person: Junipero Serra Pronunciation on audio: WAHN-i-pero sehr-ah Standard pronunciation: hoon-EH-peh-ro SEH-rah Mispronouncing Junipero Serra's name is a big boo-boo for anyone who's made it past 4th grade in California. More importantly, it causes confusion in conversation.

But seriously, though concidered a frindge theory at best I have a love for this particular little story, and the discovery of a 16th-century shilling on Vancouver Island (which used to have the MUCH cooler name of 'Quadra's and Vancouver's Island' but I digress...) in 2014 started up annouther round of Canadian Historians yelling at each other if it was possible or not. I know that it is BARELY connected to the video but I couldn't pass up this chance to mention it. I honestly can't wait for more of this though, I have a good Knowledge of British Columbia with a passable knowledge of Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, but I know very little on California Other than the time the time some Californios asked the UK to annex them because they were afraid that slavery would be made legal again if the USA annexed them, the Black Settlers that came from down there in the 1850s and became key to the building of the West Coast of Canada including British Collumbia joining the Dominion, and then the Californian Miners who tried to Fillubuster British Collumbia in one actual war and once farce being The Fraser Canyon War and Ned McGowan's War, There's a song on Ned McGowan's War and everything. Gah, sorry too much Canadian stuff, long story short this is awsome I want more, -Timon P.S. Oh and of course I have a working knowledge of the California Gold Rush, but honestly that's such a baseline thing I nearly forgot to mention it.

There's a lot of theories on his actual landing spot. Canada does seem like a stretch given where he went afterward though. I'm also sure there are ships logs that give a rough estimate of where he landed, otherwise ECV historians couldn't planted that false medallion in the 1st place. I've seen some claiming he discovered San Francisco Bay, and others claiming he didn't make it to Alta California - so there's a lot of argument. I'd have to know research the logs to see if there is any validity to such wide-ranging claims. More is coming for the next 3 weeks. I've got episodes up to the Gold Rush coming up.

I love our Spanish Catholic legacy here in the US. Maybe the most important missionary work in the history of the world.
