  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

  • See PDF History
    History According to California Indian traditional beliefs, their ancestors were created here and have lived here forever. Most anthropologists believe California Indians descended from people who crossed from Asia into North America over a land bridge that joined the two continents late in the Pleistocene Epoch. It is thought that Native Americans lived here for 15 millenia before the first European explorer sailed California's coast in the 1500s. European explorers came to California initially in a search for what British explorers called the Northwest Passage and what the Spaniards called the Strait of Anián. In any event, it was an attempt to find a shortcut between Asia's riches -- silk, spices, jewels -- and Europe that drove the discovery voyages. The now famous voyage of Columbus in 1492 was an attempt to find this mythical shortcut. Forty-seven years after Columbus's voyage, Francisco de Ulloa led an expedition from Acapulco that sought a non-existent passage from the Gulf of California through to the Pacific Ocean. California was thought to be an island, in large part probably due to a Spanish novel called Las Sergas de Esplandián (The Exploits of Esplandián) written by Garcí Rodríguez Ordóñez de Montalvo. The "island" of California is depicted in this map. Montalvo's mythical island of California was populated by a tribe of J. Speed. "The Island of California: California as black women who lived like Amazons. Early explorers apparently an Island Map," from America (Map of America named the Baja California peninsula after the mythical island, and in made in London in 1626 or 1676).

Debido a una serie de causas que se explican en detalle, el español de California del XIX quedó sometido a un estado de pre-diglosia, que se ha manifestado hasta el tiempo presente en la forma de una diglosia completa. Además, y considerando el español de California en el XIX desde la perspectiva de la sociolingüística histórica, se examinan cuestiones de legislación, raza y etnicidad y, más importante, de propiedad de la tierra para entender su efecto en el desarrollo del español de California. De todo lo anterior podemos concluir que el español de California fue un dialecto histórico del español de los Estados Unidos y que, hasta el día de hoy, mantiene vínculos con sus dialectos descendientes, como pueda ser el LASV. ii The dissertation of María Covadonga Lamar Prieto is approved Carlos Quícoli Teo F.

One of the earlier insurgents was Hipolyto Bouchard from the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, (now part of Argentina). His Msn San Francisco landings along the coast of Alta California in 1818 are in de Asis, Dolores, 1776 many sources recorded as piratical raids, yet his object was to obtain both supplies for his movement and to enlist support for his cause. Bouchard's contacts were unsuccessful on both counts. The Californians, although underpaid and poorly supported by the Spanish Crown, remained loyal. The brush between Bouchard at San Juan Rancho los Coyotes 1832 Capistrano and Santiago Argiiello illustrates the point. Bouchard had made several landings along the .. northern California coast in 1818 when Santiago Argiiello, as alferez of the San Diego Company, was sent north for the defense of the Mission San Juan Capistrano and its village. With warning of a possible attack, the padres and Reid the townspeople carried what valuables they could to the mission-owned Rancho Trabuco to wait in the foothills until the privateers' departure. The alferez was determined to make a stand. When finally on 14 December Bouchard sent a message ashore demanding supplies, Arguello "refused the request, very likely in no gentle terms" Msn San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo (Engelhardt 1922:62) (Bancroft 1963, XIX:240). 1770 The following morning a company of men set out from Bouchard's two ships and landed.

  • Monterey: History on the Half Shell
    Monterey: History on the Half Shell Monterey’s history and heritage has many facets. The place itself is a mixture of nooks, coves, hills and woods, and spectacular views of Monterey Bay. It was California’s first capital, a town steeped in traditions of adobe and fandango, and the sardine capital of the world. Its principal historical resort, the luxurious Hotel Del Monte, now the Naval Postgraduate School, was once known as the “Queen of American watering places.” The people and communities who settled Monterey echo its varied land and seascape. Its diverse historic patterns are reflected in its cultural celebrations and a rich historical memory. Since Monterey’s first residents, the Rumsien people encountered Spanish colonists two and half centuries ago, succeeding immigrants have brought distinctive and rich folkways. Each settled in a niche along the bay and wove their social and cultural patterns within the Monterey tapestry. Rumsien, Spanish, Mexican, British, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Scandinavian, and many others settled to carve out a livelihood by the bay and upon its waters. Monterey as a destination began with Spanish attempts to find a suitable Pacific port to protect and supply Spain's treasure-laden Manila galleons and a bold explorer who believed that pearls and gold must exist in California. This venture would result in the first European founding of Monterrey in 1602, although Sebastian Vizcaino's idealized descriptions of Monterey would lead subsequent colonizers to doubt him. Although Vizcaino failed to find pearls or, for that matter, gold, the port of Monterey became the capital of the Spanish and, later, Mexican province, -- the "pearl" of Alta California.
