Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcription and English translation of the diary kept by Father Escalante during the expedition headed by Fray Francisco Domínguez on a circular route through the Great Basin, from Santa Fe, through western Colorado to Utah Lake, and back through northern Arizona and western New Mexico, between July 29, 1776 and January 3, 1777. The 10-man expedition leaves Santa Fe on July 29, 1776, hoping to open an overland route from New Mexico to Monterey. Because of Hopi resistance and hostile Apaches to the west, Escalante and Domínguez take a route used by New Mexico traders northward to Colorado and the San Juan River, past Mesa Verde, the Dolores and Gunnison Rivers, northwest to the Green River, and finally turning west to reach Utah Lake near Provo on September 23. Hampered by difficult terrain and severe weather, the explorers decide on October 8 not to continue on to Monterey, but instead to head south to the Colorado River, which they cross on November 8 at La Purísima Concepción on the Utah-Arizona border, near Glen Canyon, now submerged beneath Lake Powell. The trail east takes them home through Oraibi and Zuni, and they reach Santa Fe on January 3, 1777. Throughout his diary, Escalante describes the geography, plants and animals of the area, and includes his observations on the manners and customs of the Indians they encounter, such as the Lagunas, the bearded Utes, and the Huascari.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Escalante, who was born in Treceno, Cantabria, Spain around 1750, became a Franciscan in the Convento Grande in Mexico City at the age of 17. In 1774, he came to present-day New Mexico in the Mexican province. He was first stationed at Laguna pueblo and then in January 1775 assigned as a minister to the Zuni. In June 1776, he was summoned by Fray Francisco Atanasio Dominguez, who had arrived in Santa Fe on March 22, 1776, for the expedition to California and remained in New Mexico for two years following the expedition. Father Escalante died at the age of 30 in April 1780 in Parral, Mexico, during his return journey to Mexico City for medical treatment. Author Herbert Eugene Bolton, who was well-known for his books on the Southwest and Spanish Americas, here recounts in detail the story of Father Silvestre Velez de Escalante on his expedition to the Interior Basin in 1776. Bolton also includes translations of Father Escalante’s expedition itinerary and personal journal, in which Escalante described the expeditions he went on. He also includes a translation Bernardo Miera y Pacheco’s report to the King of Spain dated October 26, 1777, as well as two maps. “This dynamic story of Father Escalante’s trek into the Great Basin, by Dr. Herbert E. Bolton, represents the results of a long lifetime of interest, writing, and exploration in Spanish activities in the great Southwest.”—Preface

This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famed adventure writer David Roberts retraces the route of the legendary Domínguez-Escalante expedition. In July 1776 a pair of Franciscan friars, Francisco Atanasio Domínguez and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, were charged by the governor of New Mexico with discovering a route across the unknown Southwest to the new Spanish colony in California. They had other goals as well, some of them secret: converting the indigenous natives along the way to the true faith, discovering a semi-mythical paradise known as Teguayó, hunting for sources of gold and silver, and paving the way for Spanish settlements from Santa Fe to Monterey. In strict terms, the expedition failed. Running out of food and beset by an early winter, the twelve-man team gave up in what is now western Utah. The retreat to Santa Fe became an ordeal of survival. The men were reduced to eating their own horses while they searched for a crossing of the raging Colorado River in Glen Canyon. Seven months after setting out, Domínguez and Escalante staggered back to Santa Fe. Yet in the course of their 1,700-mile voyage, the explorers discovered more land unknown to Europeans than Lewis and Clark would encounter a quarter-century later. Other writers, using Escalante’s brilliant and quirky diary as a guide, have retraced the expedition route, but David Roberts is the first to dig beneath its pages to question and ponder every turn of the team’s decision-making and motivation. Roberts weaves the personal and the historical narratives into a gripping journey of discovery through the magnificent American Southwest.
