The Anza Expedition of 1775-1776: Diary of Pedro Font (1913) is a historical account of the expedition led by Juan Bautista de Anza from Mexico to California in the late 18th century. The diary of Pedro Font, a Franciscan friar who accompanied the expedition, serves as the primary source for this book. The expedition was undertaken to establish a land route from Mexico to California, and to establish a settlement in San Francisco Bay. The book provides a detailed account of the journey, including the challenges faced by the expedition, the interactions between the Spanish and the indigenous people, and the establishment of the San Francisco settlement. The diary also includes descriptions of the natural environment, the flora and fauna, and the daily life of the expedition. The book is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
