The 1776 Route of Father Francisco Garces into the San Bernardino Valley, California: A Reevaluation of the Evidence and its Implications
Abstract
It has been shown that previous reconstructions of the 1776 route of Fr. Francisco Garces into and through the San Bernardino Valley, California, have been in error. Based upon a reevaluation of this route, there is also evidence to suggest revisions in both the existing views of the route of the Old Mojave Trail and the locations of various protohistoric/historic-period rancherias.
