Capitán de Navío Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra was the most important Spanish naval officer on the Northwest Coast in the eighteenth century. Serving from 1774 to 1794, he participated in the search for the Northwest Passage and, with George Vancouver, endeavoured to forge a diplomatic resolution to the Nootka Sound controversy between Spain and Britain.Freeman Tovell's thorough and nuanced study presents this officer of Spain's Enlightened Navy as a key figure in the history of the region. Intelligent, observant, and literate, Bodega received high praise from the viceroys of New Spain under whom he served. His enlightened policy toward the Nuu-chah-nulth and his close association with Chief Maquinna are a matter of record.Bodega was not without his imperfections -- when his overarching ambition to make a name for himself exceeded his financial reach, he incurred ruinous debts. As a Peruvian creole, he also struggled against the glass ceiling imposed by having been born outside Spain. Despite constant efforts for promotions, he never gained the full recognition from naval and political superiors that his achievements deserved.Bodega's accomplishments place him in the company of Bering, Cook, Vancouver, La Pérouse, and Malaspina -- those who advanced a better understanding of the geography, ethnography, and natural history of the area. The most complete study of Bodega and his epoch yet written, At the Far Reaches of Empire is an absorbing narrative of eighteenth-century empire building.

Memoirs of California Pioneer Juan Francisco Dana (died 1936 at age 98). Dana was the son of Captain William Goodwin Dana of Boston, who settled in Santa Barbara, California. After a long maritime career, Captain Dana became administrator of the Port of Santa Barbara. In 1828 Captain Dana married Josefa Carrillo of Santa Barbara, whose father was at one time governor. The couple acquired a Mexican land grant and began ranching north of Santa Barbara on the vast Nipomo Rancho, which later would become southern San Luis Obispo County. Unlike many other California ranchos, the Nipomo Rancho was well maintained by several generations of Danas. Juan Francisco Dana, nicknamed "El Huero" (the fair-haired one), was the last surviving Dana brother. His long and interesting life extended from old rancho days under the Republic of Mexico to 1936. "The Blond Ranchero" reflects life on the Nipomo Rancho from young Juan's perspective.

In a decade that featured such legendary hurlers as Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, and other Hall of Famers, no pitcher won more games than Juan Marichal in the 1960s. His unique, high-kick pitching style was imitated by kids from New York to San Francisco to Santo Domingo, and it is immortalized in a bronze statue outside of the Giants’ current ballpark. Marichal was the first Dominican-born player to play in an All-Star Game and the first elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and he won more games than any of his countrymen. And while Dominican and other Latino players have come to dominate many aspects of baseball in recent years, Marichal was a trailblazer in his day, entering the league at a time when Latin American players were routinely discriminated against, underpaid, and presented with numerous obstacles on their journey to the big leagues.In Juan Marichal, Marichal tells the story of his rise from living on a rural farm as a young boy in the Dominican Republic to his status as one of the great pitchers of all time. Along the way, he was enlisted by the son of the country’s dictator to play for the national team, was threatened at gunpoint to throw a game during a tournament in Mexico, fought homesickness as a minor leaguer in rural Indiana, and went head-to-head with some of the greatest pitchers and hitters the game has ever seen.For the first time, Marichal gives his perspective on life as a Latino ballplayer in the 1960s, describes the highs and lows of a 16-year major league career, and explores what the recent influx of Dominicans in the majors has meant to baseball and to his home country. He offers reflections on lingering stereotypes, the impact of steroids, and the general state of the game in the 21st century.

This book provides a look into the team’s history, highlighting the players and other notables who were instrumental in shaping the Giants organization.

In 2005, celebrated novelist Francisco Goldman married a beautiful young writer named Aura Estrada in a romantic Mexican hacienda. The month before their second anniversary, during a long-awaited holiday, Aura broke her neck while body surfing. Francisco, blamed for Aura’s death by her family and blaming himself, wanted to die, too. Instead, he wrote Say Her Name, a novel chronicling his great love and unspeakable loss, tracking the stages of grief when pure love gives way to bottomless pain.Suddenly a widower, Goldman collects everything he can about his wife, hungry to keep Aura alive with every memory. From her childhood and university days in Mexico City with her fiercely devoted mother to her studies at Columbia University, through their newlywed years in New York City and travels to Mexico and Europe and always through the prism of her gifted writings Goldman seeks her essence and grieves her loss. Humor leavens the pain as he lives through the madness of grief and creates a living portrait of a love as joyous as it is deep and profound.Say Her Name is a love story, a bold inquiry into destiny and accountability, and a tribute to Aura, who she was and who she would've been.

Juan Bautista de Anza led the Spanish colonizing expedition in 1775–76 that opened a trail from Arizona to California and established a presidio at San Francisco Bay. Franciscan missionary Fray Pedro Font accompanied Anza. As chaplain and geographer, Font kept a detailed daily record of the expedition's progress that today is considered one of the fundamental documents of exploration in the American Southwest.This new edition includes Font's recently discovered field journal—the actual notes he wrote on the trail. Previously published only in Spanish, this journal contains many details and perspectives not found in the two "official" versions that Font prepared after the expedition. It supplants the 1930 edition prepared by Herbert Eugene Bolton, which was based solely on Font's "official" texts.With Anza to California, 1775–1776 interweaves and correlates for the first time all existing texts of Font's journal and incorporates the latest research on this pathbreaking expedition. Editor Alan K. Brown has rendered a more accurate translation, allowing us to relive the journey through Font's eyes as the friar presents a panorama of history, geography, and ecology. Font also describes the interaction between Hispanic settlers and Native peoples—revealing Spanish relations with the Quechans on the Colorado River and the Kumeyaay uprising in San Diego.Featuring maps and relief profiles drawn by Font, along with new maps prepared by Brown, this edition includes an extensive introduction and copious explanatory notes. It is the most complete account of the Anza expedition and a foundational primary source in California and Southwest history.

La autobiografía de Juan Francisco Manzano (1797-1853) es un testimonio único sobre la esclavitud, escrito en español por un esclavo. Su composición en 1835 fue posible gracias a los esfuerzos de Domingo del Monte, que alentó al poeta a escribir un relato autobiográfico. Manzano tuvo que aprender a leer y escribir antes de aventurarse a narrar los episodios de su vida en un manuscrito legible, aunque con multitud de errores. Para hacerla más accesible a los lectores Del Monte encomendó el manuscrito a Anselmo Suárez y Romero para que le diera forma e hiciera las correcciones necesarias. Suárez y Romero cumplió cabalmente con la petición, pero también modificó la vida del esclavo con la intención de que el testimonio cobrara mayor fuerza en favor de la abolición de la trata de esclavos y la esclavitud. Tanto la autobiografía original como la versión corregida por Suárez y Romero desaparecieron. El original, encontrado un siglo más tarde en la Biblioteca Nacional José Martí, fue publicado en 1937 por José Luciano Franco. La versión de Suárez y Romero, hallada a mediados de la década de los ochenta en la Biblioteca de Sterling de la Universidad de Yale e inédita hasta el momento, es la que se da a conocer a los lectores en este libro.

La historia de los hermanos Isabel, Nicolás y Juan transcurre violentamente en torno a un episodio de la guerra cristera (1926-1929) en Ixtepec, pueblo escondido en el territorio mexicano que se convierte en el perplejo narrador de la tragedia. El siniestro general Francisco Rosas, la misteriosa belleza de una mujer esquiva llamada Julia, y las aventuras de las queridas de los militares, conforman el pintoresco marco donde la búsqueda del amor imposible y las ansias humanas de libertad propician una lucha encarnizada, que concluye sin vencedores ni vencidos. Personajes inolvidables como el loco Juan Cariño o el héroe Nicolás Moncada, que se somete como cordero de Dios al sacrificio, dan sustancia a una novela que la crítica revaloriza año tras año, describiéndola como la gran precursora del realismo mágico que tanta trascendencia cobrara a mediados del siglo XX. Los recuerdos del porvenir no sólo es una obra clásica de la literatura latinoamericana, sino también la cumbre artística en la producción de Elena Garro.
