THE SECOND ANZA EXPEDITION By Vivian Boyd

Given the task of securing outposts in Alta (Upper) California, a party lead

by Lieutenant-Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza left Horcasitas, Mexico with a

small band of 20 soldiers. They were headed for Tubac, Arizona where they

would meet others destined to make the trip to California. Held up by Apache

Indian raids and disorganization, the group finally left Tubac on Friday, Sep-

tember 29, 1775, at 4:30 in the afternoon. The group consisted of: 34 military

officers and soldiers, 106 dependents, wives and children, 17 civilian settlers,

20 mule drivers, 165 mules, 450 horses, and 302 beef cattle. They also packed

the provisions they would need for the trip. These included: 10 tents, blankets,

pinole (corn meal), beans, chilis, barley, chocolate, brandy, beef jerky, shoe iron

(for horse shoes), tools to work on trails and to dig for water, ammunition, guns,

knives, beads and tobacco for gifts to natives, pots to cook with, extra clothes,

medicines. The civilian settlers carried additional provisions.

Most important to the history of Concord, the party traveling with Anza in-

cluded Juan Salvio Pacheco, his wife Maria del Carmen del Valle and their five

children. Juan Salvio was in the military. Also on the trip was Nicolas Galindo,

his wife Maria Teresa Pinto and son, Juan Venancio. Nicolas was traveling as a

settler; he would later join the military. These were the grandparents of Con-

cord’s founding fathers, Salvio Pacheco and Francisco Galindo.

The newly recruited military men were military men in name only as they were given no training, received only one

rifle, but no ammunition, to defend themselves and the group. Only a few of the women traveling with the group were lit-

erate, and none of them left a record of the 1,200-mile journey. Anza described those willing to make the trip as being “…in

the direst of poverty and misery, so I have no doubt they would most willingly and gladly embrace the advantages afforded

by the relocation to the coastal North Country.” The diverse group consisted of people with indigenous, European and Afri-

can ancestry.

Two other people who would play a role in the history of Contra Costa County were on the trip. The first was Father

Pedro Font, born in 1737 in Catalonia, Spain. After becoming a Franciscan priest, he traveled to “New Spain” to teach the

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

As many of you may know, the Mason-

ic Temple is on its new foundation at 1928

Clayton Road! Now, the society is focused

on preserving it for the winter months. It’s

essential that we all give a little more to

keep this movement going. Once we get

the building prepared for winter, we have

to start collecting money from everyone—

those of us on the Board that are Mt. Dia-

blo High School graduates (and there are

about 14 of us) are challenging our class-

mates for support. You can help us, too.

We’ve been happy with our visitors to

the Galindo Home and Gardens on Sunday

afternoons. The amount of visitors average

about 44 per month, plus we’ve had the

Druids, Red Hat Ladies, other service groups and 62 third-graders from local

schools. The docents have been so important. I want to express my thanks to all of

the docents for their time, interest and ongoing dedication. Gloria Mattson, our

docent coordinator, Jan Trolan, our Galindo Home Museum coordinator and Chuck

Gabrysiak have already done much and continue to do such good work for the mu-

seum and gardens.

On June 23 the society hosted the Summer at the Galindo Home & Gardens

event. This event offered for many of those in attendance the first opportunity to

see first hand the Masonic Temple in its new location along Clayton Road—

directly adjacent to the Galindo property. While not yet on its foundation only one

month following the move, visitors could see the beginnings of our first-rate muse-

um complex.

Our next event will be the 5th annual Autumn at the Adobe. Please invite your

family and friends and join us on Sunday, October 6, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at the

historic Salvio Pacheco Adobe (1870 Adobe Street).

After coming so far with the relocation of the Masonic Temple, we still face

challenges despite having a successful move. Chuck Gabrysiak and Lloyd Crenna

continue their work managing the structural aspects inherent in all construction projects, especially that of relocating a large

historical building. They are hard at work dealing with the society’s contractors in order to ensure that the building properly

fits and is secured to the new foundation, that the walls are patched, that the roofing is replaced, and, as I mentioned earlier

that the building is generally secure and sealed up for the colder, damper weather which will be upon us in a few months.

We knew from the start that this would be a monumental undertaking, and that it would be costly—in terms of time, effort

and finances. But, we feel strongly that despite the costs this is the society’s best opportunity to develop such a comprehen-

sive museum complex consisting of two historic buildings and beautiful gardens. I want to extend my sincerest thanks to

everyone who has contributed to our efforts so far. Moving forward, I also want to ask everyone who also wants to see our

museum complex reach its full potential to consider making a contribution.

indigenous people about the Catholic religion and all of the advantages of becoming a loyal subject of the Spanish Crown. Up-

on joining Commander Anza on the trek to Alta California, he became responsible for the spiritual life of all of those on the

expedition. Further, he was an expert on the English Quadrant, an instrument that allowed him to record the latitudes they trav-

eled; helpful for making maps of the new territory. He was also a talented musician, who could be called on for entertainment.

Most importantly, he kept a detailed daily journal of the trip, recording everything—from his point of view.

The second was Ensign Jose Joaquin Moraga, born in 1741, buried on July 15, 1785 in San Francisco. He was Anza’s sec-

ond in command. Upon arriving in the San Francisco area he was was given charge of settling the area. He founded the Mis-

sion and presidio in San Francisco and Santa Clara and helped to build homes for the settlers. His son Gabriel extensively ex-

plored Northern California and named many rivers, such as: the Sacramento, the Merced, and the San Joaquin. His son,

Joaquin, and a cousin, Juan Bernal, received a land grant of 13,316 acres in 1841 (Salvio Pacheco’s land was granted in 1834),

in what is now the town of Moraga.

While a Captain and Commander of the presidio of Tubac,

Juan Bautista de Anza had led the 1st expedition, establishing

a route through the desert and mountains leading to the coast

of California. Anza had heard tales of desert Indians who

could draw pictures of Spanish Galleons. This seemed to in-

dicate that there was an overland trail to the ocean, known to

the Indians. Juan, second generation military, was described

as a “desert-toughened frontiersman” who was well qualified

to lead the 2nd expedition. Historian Herbert Bolton said that

Anza was, “A man of heroic qualities, tough as oak and silent

as the desert from which he sprang.”

Anza’s exploration helped to forge the beginning of the El

Camino Real—the overland route from San Diego to Monte-

rey, which would become the main north/south route through

California. Anza was given command of the expedition by

Charles III of Spain, who wanted to settle Alta California with Spanish colonies because of threats from Russia, whose sailors

were exploring the coasts of Oregon and California seeking seal and otter pelts. Also, the French and English governments

supported voyages of discovery, looking for a quick and easy passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Spain wanted

the land for Spain; to ensure this, King Charles III wanted to establish colonies at harbors and outposts, strategically placed

along the coast of California.

It took all day to pack the animals with the necessary supplies and prepare for the expedition. They couldn’t leave Tubac

until 4:30 in the afternoon. The line of people, animals and supplies, had just reached its full length when the group was or-

dered to stop for the night. Within a week, the packing and loading of the mules and horses became much smoother and every-

one settled into a routine. Within two weeks the expedition became organized and efficient. A death in the party took place

after a short time on the trail when a mother died in childbirth, the baby died a year later. Despite this tragic start no more deaths were recorded, but three marriages were conducted and celebrated.

The start of the trip was hard on all who went. The desert, lack of water and fresh food, and harassment by a band of Apache’s made progress slow. But, once the expedition made it to the Gila River area, the Opa, Yuma and Pima Indians wel-

comed the party. They knew Anza from his previous trip; they listened attentively to the story of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a

story they were familiar with because of the missionaries who told them on the first trip. Father Font, the priest traveling with

the group, wrote of his sermon in his diary. He made an analogy with the passage of the people of Israel to the Promised Land

through the Red Sea with the present expedition to Monterey through the Colorado River. He assured them of God’s blessing

and the protection of the Virgin of Guadalupe if they conducted themselves as good Christians. Many natives converted to

Christianity and pledged their allegiance to Spain. They could identify with the story of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Aware that the first expedition had almost ended in disaster while crossing the desert, Anza carefully plotted this larger

group’s passage. He had to know exactly where they were going and how much water would be available at each stop. To

ensure safe passage Anza divided the expedition into 4 groups, staggered over 3 days. It was planned that the four groups

would rendezvous at Santa Catharina (present day Anza-Borrego State Park).

The first group left on Saturday, December 9, 1775 at 9:30 in the morning. The first stop proved to be, “…an awful place,

with some reedgrass for the only pasture and permanent but very salty water,” wrote Father Font. At this point the expedition

was in the middle of nowhere, 47 days and 120 leagues (360 miles) from Tubac. The weather was cloudy and bitterly cold and

within days they would deal with snow. Many cattle died during this part of the expedition, but on December 17 the tempera-

ture improved and the last of the groups crossed the desert. This brought a sense of happiness and relief to everyone. Anza or-

dered that brandy be made available to all who wanted it. Font wrote: “That night, with the joy of all being reunited, a raucous

party broke out…” Father Font did not approve.

On Christmas Eve, December 24, 1775 the expedition was halted when a woman went into labor. Father Font and Com-

mander Anza once again had an argument over the distribution of brandy. Father Font argued that if Anza knew that the distri-

bution of brandy would result in drunkenness, then he shouldn’t give it out. Anza countered with the fact that the King author-

ized it, plus people needed a break from the cold, wet weather, and anxiety of dealing with the exhausted and dying animals.

On Christmas morning, Font celebrated three masses and baptized the newborn child, Salvador Ignacio. He delivered a

sermon on intemperance, saying that Christmas had been profaned, with an excess of eating, drinking, dancing, and debauchery.

“Oh World, World that everything turns upside down,” he wrote. “The most sacred days become the most profane.” Anza and

Font did not speak to one another for a couple of the days.

The group trudged onward through cold mists, drizzle and mud. After

safely crossing the flooded Santa Ana

River they made it to San Gabriel, a

community of three thatched-roofed,

wood and adobe buildings near a clear

stream, only to be greeted by disturbing

news. Commander Rivera y Moncada

had come to report about a rebellion

among new religious converts at the mission in San Diego; they had killed a priest and two servants, wounding many others.

There were rumors that the Indians in the vicinity were gathering to do the same thing. He wanted Anza to come with his

troops to help capture and punish those who were responsible.

On Sunday, January 7, 1776, Commander Anza, Commander Rivera, Father Font and 30 soldiers left for San Diego, leaving

behind over 200 expedition members at San Gabriel, under the command of Lieutenant Moraga. Without the women and chil-

dren the party moved very fast, arriving in San Diego on Thursday, January 11. Rivera believed that the Indians and Christian

natives caused all of the problems, and he intended to see them punished. Font found the conditions at the mission to be crowd-

ed, “miserable and unhappy.” He believed that they should put their Christian beliefs into practice and exhibit charity and for-

giveness. But four captives were returned to the mission and received fifty lashes each. Others were punished as well.

Anza wanted to return to San Gabriel. Rivera replied, “…at the present moment, …nothing was more important to…God

and the King than total pacification of this important port, lest the rebellion spread to all of Alta California.” He requested that

Anza should leave his soldiers in place and that he should refrain from establishing a garrison in San Francisco until the whole

area had been entirely stabilized. Anza and Rivera did not see eye-to-eye; a letter was sent to the viceroy of Mexico, seeking

guidance. To make the situation worse, five soldiers arrived from San Gabriel with news that supplies were running short and

that those at the mission had been forced to cut their rations in half. Only an eight-day supply remained.

What Rivera feared most from the situation was that his reputation would be ruined if Anza left without the rebellion being

resolved. He further feared that a rebellion could spread to each of the existing missions, thereby ending Spanish rule in Alta California. Reluctantly he agreed to send Anza, and the soldiers with families at San Gabriel, back with a load of corn and

beans (moldy according to Font). Moraga was sent to look for the rebelling men who had deserted the post and fled, charged

with bringing them back for justice. Anza had felt, all along, that Rivera had overreacted. Font wrote in his journal, “From that

night on, Captain Anza was forever out of grace with Captain Rivera, so strongly opposed was he to that new establishment

and, as Anza’s companion, I also became the object of his hatred.” They left San Diego 4 days later, climbing 125 hills on their

way to San Gabriel.

On Wednesday, February 21, 1776, day 146 in to the expedition, the majority of the group headed north with Anza. Having

ample pasture for the animals, a lull in the rains, and the act of moving once again, lightened the mood of the travelers. Soon

the group encountered the Indians of the Channel Islands. Having an abundance of seafood and grain seed, they rarely experi-

enced hunger and lived in substantial huts of high reaching, arched poles covered with reeds and grass mats. Font, while main-

taining his Eurocentric point of view, grudgingly recognized positive traits in this group of Indians. He speculated that they

would be hard to convert to Christianity as their way of life was so complete, with a well functioning society, moral values,

construction skills, recreation, and, generally, a high standard of living.

By March 2, the group was only two days away from San Luis Obispo, and once more bogged down in the mud. Their

hosts met them on the trail, ready to guide them to the mission. Anza wrote, “Our reception was commensurate with the joy felt

by people who spend years without seeing (any) other faces than the twelve or thirteen priests and soldiers of the mission …

during their long and difficult exile from the world.” Further, Font wrote of the meeting, “…they did not wish to miss the op-

portunity of talking with us. They are so alone, the distances [between establishments] being so large, that it is a special day

when they see people.”

Five days later Lieutenant Moraga re-joined the group. It had been four weeks since he left San Gabriel searching for the

rebels. He sent the prisoners on to Rivera at San Diego and rushed north. He told Anza that, after interrogating the deserters,

he established that it had not been a general discontent, as had been feared, but rather an isolated incident, “… of seduction,

bribery, and betrayal.” To everyone’s relief, the incident in San Diego was put to rest; there was no general discontent among

the soldiers or the indigenous population. Rivera had overreacted.

Arriving at Monterey Presidio on March 11, the expedition was joined by Father Junipero Serra, who had travelled from

Mission Carmel. The chapel bells rang, the troops fired salvoes and everyone was moved to tears. It had been 164 days since

the group left Horcasitas. In his sermon, Font once again referred to the protection granted by the Virgin of Guadalupe, who he

credited with ensuring the groups safety. The expedition was at rest, eating fresh and dried salmon almost every day. Anza and

Moraga met with Father Palou to discuss the trip to the Bay Area, reading from his journal as well as the journal left behind by

Juan Crespi and Pedro Fages.

Anza, suffering from a sudden and acute pain, wrote a letter to Rivera, telling him of his plans to move forward to San Fran-

cisco and letting him know, that if he found a suitable site, he would relocate the settlers there. He urged Rivera to agree, be-

cause the Viceroy of Mexico would be pleased to take possession of the port and to establish a permanent settlement. Father

Serra and the priests approved of this move; they had struggled with Rivera’s opposition to the prospect of exploring and set-

tling more missions in the past and provided welcome support to Anza. Finally, four priests from Carmel would be able to take

up their assigned duties at San Francisco.

A small group prepared to explore further into the San Francisco Bay Area, leaving the larger group in Monterey. Anza,

Font and Moraga would lead the group, along with a Corporal Robles, ten soldiers and six servants. Corporal Robles and his

two men from the Monterey presidio had explored the area before and would serve as guides. The names of a few of the sol-

diers accompanying Anza were Castro, Peralta, Alviso and Berryessa, all names associated with place names still in existence.

Despite still being in acute pain, Anza led the party on its exploration. From the high point of Cupertino, Anza was able to

access the full expanse of the bay and the peninsula on which they would be traveling. Once in San Francisco, they found the

wooden cross that had been left the previous year, marking a possible site for a mission. They left a written message claiming

possession on behalf of the King of Spain.

Moving through the present-day city of Santa Clara, the group encountered marshland, they moved east until they came to

the mouth of the bay. Bearing northeast they climbed a small rage of mountains and camped by San Pablo Bay. The next day

they encountered a group of Indians, living on a Rancheria where they were greeted with music and dancing and an exchange of

beads and food took place. The valley inhabited by the Indians was filled with herds of elk and deer, rich with plant life, close

to plentiful, red salmon and other fish, and miraculously free of mosquitos. Earlier explorations had called the prominent

mountain at the head of the valley, Cerro Alto de los Bolbones (High Point of the Volvons) after the Indians who lived on the

peak of the mountain and in what is now Clayton Valley and Marsh Creek. Today, of course, it is known as Mt. Diablo. The

following day, travelling northeast, they climbed a small hill and could see a vast span of water. Font and Anza entered into a disagreement over what they were viewing. Was it an extension of the bay or a river?

Unable to make a decision the group circled back passing Sierra del Chasco (the Mountains of Disappointment), today’s Diablo Range, and returned to Monterey with stories of the beautiful sites they had seen. Anza and Font left immediately for

Mexico to report to the Viceroy. Moraga founded the site of Mission Dolores in San Francisco as well as the Presidio, and did

the same in Santa Clara. Within a year the first pueblo, or town, was founded in San Jose. The population was primarily made

up of solders from the expedition and settlers from Monterey and the Presidio at San Francisco. About 300 additional settlers

arrived over the Anza trail in the next 5 years.

It is important to understand that this expedition took place at the same time as people on the East Coast were discontented

with the British. While the Declaration of Independence was being written, Anza was back on the trail, having successfully

guided the first permanent settlers to the Bay Area. As a rebellion was taking place on the East Coast, exploration and settlement

was taking place on the West Coast. The spirit of adventure and the motivation to settle new territory was instilled in the grand-

children of those who traveled with Anza. In 1834 Don Salvio Pacheco received his land grant, Rancho Monte del Diablo.

WHY THE MASONIC TEMPLE? By Vivian Boyd

As passionate as we, members of the Concord Historical Society are about relocating the Masonic Temple and trans-

forming it into a museum and venue for community activities, not everyone is as enthusiastic. Many of us have heard the

question, “Why bother saving that old building?” The Marin Independent Journal published the answer on June 15, 2013.

Here are the six reasons they give for caring about saving old buildings:

• Because tearing them down is wrecking our history. Countr ies r ich in culture value history and buildings. “In

Italy and France, you see 300-year-old buildings housing subways … They make them work, they dont tear them down.”

• Because it’s bad for the earth. Most of the wreckage will not be salvaged. All that glass and plaster goes into

landfills.

• Because you can never replicate these buildings once they are gone. The woodwork alone came from old growth

trees. These buildings were made by hand with hand-made materials.

• Because we don’t need new buildings. We have enough vacant buildings. We need to take care of what we have.

• Because we’re losing our uniqueness. There is something beautiful about traveling through Amer ica and seeing

its distinct neighborhoods. Buildings that get torn down and rebuilt erase that character.

• Because of their quality. When you have a 100-year-old building, made of timbers not particle board, it is solid.

These buildings have withstood decades of human life and natural disasters, but not city commissions and other self-

interests.

Many of us have lived long enough to recall stately homes and architecturally interesting public buildings torn down

only to be replaced by “modern” buildings, which now look shabby and characterless. The Masonic Temple has a history

that still lives in the memories of many. Structurally strong, decorated with hand-painted beams and tiles, it is not just an-
