520 8 a| Description: This is Antonio de la Ascensión account of Sebastián Vizcaíno's voyage along the coast of California, from Acapulco to San Francisco, in 1602-1603. Commissioned by the viceroy of New Spain, the conde de Monterey, Vizcaíno, Father Ascensión, two other friars, and 200 soldier/sailors set sail in 3 ships from Acapulco on May 5, 1602, to explore the California coastline, take soundings for the bays and ports, and search for the legendary city of Quivira. The account traces the expedition past the Macatlán Islands to Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of what is now Baja California, to San Diego, Monterey, San Francisco, and finally, to Cape Mendocino, where they arrive on January 14, 1603. Ascensión comments on the flora and fauna of the coastline, mentioning especially the famous pelicans and the types of fish found there; and describes the hardships faced by the men, such as the severe winds, unpredictable currents, and crippling illnesses. After the party returns to Acapulco in March of 1603, having lost 40 men along the way, Ascensión offers his conclusions that California is an island and that Quivira is not in California but in the province of New Mexico. He points out the importance and value to Spain of pacifying, conquering, and settling California, beginning with Cabo San Lucas.;
