Mission Santa Inés Mission santa inés Continue Founded at the end of the mission era and the last of the missions in Southern California, Mission Santa Inis was dedicated to the number nineteen in the chain on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis. Named after Saint Agnes and located in the Santa Ines Valley, the mission's proximity to the Danish city of Solvang makes for an interesting mix of cultures. The mission was originally supposed to be located in the interior of California near the San Joaquin Valley, but the plan was abandoned. Designated as the Mission of Passes to arrive at the Santa Ina Mission, visitors had to fight on the San Marcos Pass, pass the Refugio Pass or the Gaviota Pass, otherwise known as El Camino Real. This isolation scared away visitors to Santa Ina, and therefore the mission of social life was limited. Prosperity in the Santa Ina Mission was halted by several cases, such as the strong earthquake of 1812 and the Chumash Uprising of 1824, when the Indians aggressively protested against the treatment of military guards. During the secularization, the mission was leased to the Kovarrubias family for five hundred and eighty dollars a year. Mission Madonna Chapel, showing its bright and bright colors have benefited from dedicated restorations. Started by Father Alexander Buckler in 1904, the ongoing repair of the mission allowed Santa Inam to regain the splendor of its early days. Buckler enlisted his niece, Maim Gulet, to restore the art missions and the collection that today makes up the vast museum. As in mission days, the church remains an active parish, and the surrounding countryside is a popular wine region.

Founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapim of the Franciscan Order, the mission was chosen as an intermediate point between the Santa Barbara Mission and the Mission of La Purisima Concepcion, and was designed to alleviate the overcrowding of these two missions and serve Indians living north of the coast. The mission was home to the first school in Alta California and today serves as a museum as well as the parish church of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It is also designated as a National Historic Site, known as one of the best preserved of 21 California missions. The story of Joseph John Chapman and his wife Guadalupe Ortega, circa 1847. Mexican soldiers advance on the mission of La Purisima Concepcion during the Chumash Uprising of 1824. Painting by Alexander Harmer. Much of the original church was destroyed on December 21, 1812, by an earthquake near Santa Barbara that damaged or destroyed several California missions. The quake also severely damaged other mission buildings, but the complex was not abandoned. On July 4, 1817, a new church was dedicated, built with walls 5 to 6 feet thick (1.5 to 1.8 m) and large pine beams brought from nearby Mount Figueroa. In 1819, about half a mile from the church, a water-energy mill was built. In 1821, a full mill was added, designed by the newly arrived American immigrant Joseph John Chapman. He oversaw the construction of a mill for the San Gabriel Mission and prepared wood for the first church in Los Angeles. The mill he built near San Gabriel is now a museum. Chapman was baptized in San Buenaventura in 1822, and in the same year married Guadeloupe Ortega of Santa Barbara, with whom he had five children. In 1824, Chapman bought land in Los Angeles and developed a vineyard, but still continued to perform odd missions. On February 21, 1824, a soldier beat a young native of Chumash. Chumash's two separate accounts, written in the early 1900s, say that around the time the native was beaten, the Spanish page overheard The Santa Ina priests saying that the mission's indigenous people had been killed the following summer when they arrived. The page was discovered by priests after warning indigenous people and his tongue and legs were cut off before he was burned to death. Upon learning of the news, the indigenous residents sought help from other natives of the Santa Barbara Canal, and a week later the Chumashov uprising of 1824 was triggered. When the fighting ended, the indigenous residents extinguished the fire, which began on a mission. Many Indians to join other tribes in the mountains; only a few indigenous people remained on the mission. In 1833, missions in California began to begin however, it was not until 1835 that the Santa Ina mission was secularized by the Mexican government. Secularization included replacing the Padres as mission managers with government-appointed wardens. In this case, the existing Spanish Franciscans were replaced by Mexican Franciscans, which were limited to provide only for the spiritual needs of Chumash. Chumash had been ill-treated under this new policy and began to leave the mission, returning to their villages or working for settler ranches. As a result, much of their land was transferred to settlers in the form of land subsidies. The Santa Ina mission circa 1912. The original three-bell campanario mission, built in 1817, collapsed during a storm in 1911 and was subsequently replaced by this concrete four-bell version, which also had holes on the side. This tower was replaced in 1948 to restore the original three-niche look. Architecture historian Rexford Newcombe compared it to one that originally adjoins the facade of the Mission san Gabriel-Arkangel. The Santa Ines marker In 1843, the Mexican Governor of California Micheltorena granted 34,499 acres (139.61 km2) of land in the Santa Ines Valley, called Rancho Cagnada de los Pinos, to the College of Our Lady Of Refuge, the first seminary in California. Based on the mission of Francisco Garcia Diego and Moreno, the first bishop of California, the college was abandoned in 1881. By then, the mission buildings had disintegrated. Highwayman Jack Powers briefly took over the Santa Ince Mission and the adjacent Rancho San Marcos in 1853, intending to rustle cattle owned by the nicolas A. Den ranch. Powers was defeated in a bloodless armed confrontation. He was not expelled from the Santa Barbara area until 1855. The Danish city of Solvang was built around the mission itself in the early 1900s. It was thanks to the efforts of his father Alexander Buckler that the mission was reconstructed in 1904, although a large-scale restoration was possible only in 1947, when the Hirst Foundation donated money to pay for the project. The restoration is continued by The Franciscan Capitols. The Indigenous Peoples of Alta California Mission System was founded by Catholic priests of the Franciscan Order of Native American Evangelization. Missionaries presented European fruits, vegetables, cattle, horses, pastoralism and technology. The natives in Santa Ina were used as workers and the agriculture mission caused great environmental changes in the environment. Archeobotanological analysis has shown that agricultural efforts in Santa Ina are primarily responsible for integrating peas, courgettes, potatoes, cabbage, olive, grape, pear, apricot, hemp, peach, carrots, etc. into the environment. Shortly after the deployment of missions, that European and the U.S. spread all over the California coast. Many native mission missions the southwestern region of the United States and northern Mexico was the victim of Eurasian diseases to which they were not immune; missions such as the Piteria Alta and Baja California missions. However, demographic studies have shown that Santa Barbara Canal missions (Santa Inas, Santa Barbara, San Buenaventura, and La Purisima Concepcion) and many other Alta California missions do not exactly follow this trend. Although the missions were not epidemic-free, the census conducted in the 1980s showed that the mortality rate for women and children was much higher than that of men. Diseases are not biased towards gender or age, which means that something outside of the disease has had a dramatic impact on the Indian population in missions. Researchers found that the decline in population was focused on the unique conditions of the Alta California missions: very tough, overcrowded living conditions that contributed to the spread of disease. These conditions were met as part of a programme of missions designed for cultural and religious change by indigenous people. For example, to control the sexual intercourse of women, Franciscans lock all single women together at night in small, damp rooms. The Mission Santa Ines Mission Recovery Mission is one of the oldest surviving structures in the state of California and requires ongoing repair and restoration efforts. Over the years, many men and women have worked to preserve, preserve and restore the historic landmark.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

It appears that, as in the early 1950’s, the chickadees avoid areas occu- pied by the titmice, and that space is not shared by the two species to an appreciable degree during the breeding season.

Notes on Winter and Early Spring Bird Activity on the Farallon Islands, California. -Of the numerous published accounts of the birds of the Farallon Islands, few are based on obser- vations made in the winter. Through the courtesy of the United States Coast Guard I spent several days, January 12 to 16 and March 17 to 23, 1960, on the Southeast Farallon Islands which are situ- ated about 28 miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California. The primary purpose of my visit was to determine the winter activity of Cassin Auklets (Ptychoramphus aleutica). Each evening Cassin Auklets were noted coming in from the sea in large numbers about an hour and a half after sundown. In January no eggs were found, but the birds were active cleaning out old bur- rows. In some instances new burrows were begun in the soft soil, and many birds were engaged in mating activity.
