The arrival of Spaniards in 1769 served as a defining moment for
California's future. They described the First Peoples and their
cultures and provided a window into the evolution of California's
Camino Real. In an effort to establish the Camino Real de
California as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Joseph P. Sanchez
explores the rich history of the path running from San Diego to San
Francisco in this significant study. While records capture the
stories and legends of the Camino Real there is little information
on the exact ground route. Sanchez utilizes historical and
archaeological literature and the documentation from Spanish and
Mexican archives to begin the much-needed process of authentication
of this braided corridor to further establish the Camino Real de
California's integrity and valuable history, which is shared with
Spain, Mexico, and Native American tribes. Their story is part of
the patrimony of the Camino Real de California, which ought to be
authenticated, preserved, and protected for future generations to
enjoy.
