Manuscripts for the Study of Iberian, Latin American, and Latino History in the Huntington Library Manuscripts for the Study of Iberian, Latin American, and Latino History in the Huntington Library A Preliminary Handlist Contents Section Pages Brazil 1-3 Caribbean 1-5 Central America 1-9 Mexico 1-35 Mexican War 1-5 North America 1-33 Philippines 1-4 Portugal 1-4 South America 1-8 Spain 1-12 Note to Readers Before using this handlist, the researcher should be aware of its scope and limitations. It covers only material held in the Manuscripts Department of the Huntington Library, and does not generally include material from Rare Books (with the exception of some pertinent manuscript material included in printed books), Photo Archives, or the Botanical Division. It is in its early stages of development, and makes no claim to be complete. It has been constructed largely from existing finding aids, with only occasional checking having been done to date with the original manuscripts to ensure accuracy. Since it is still being actively and continually supplemented with new information, it has not been systematically proofread for accuracy. With these caveats, we hope it will be of some help to researchers until a more thorough guide can be created. Please note that the “Find” function takes into account diacritics. Names often appear both with and without them, so two separate searches must be undertaken to find all instances of names including diacritical marks.

  • 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).
