Interpretation and EducationA Junior RangerTravels theAnza TrailThis past Labor Day weekend,intrepid Junior Ranger Francesca,a 5th-grader from New Mexico,traveled the Anza Trail with herfather to uncover stories of her owncultural heritage. She sent us thewonderful story and photos belowabout her discoveries:Beginning the journey atTumacácoriHistoric ParkNati.onal4Nogales to TumacácoriI started my journey on the Anza Trail at the Mexicanborder town of Nogales, Arizona. My dad and Ifollowed Anza’s Trail up the Santa Cruz River valleystopping first at Tumacácori National Historic Park,one of the trail’s first stops in what is now the UnitedStates. Tumacácori was like a journey to the pastwith its ancient walls, structures, and carvings. Ithad a wonderful museum that featured Father Kino,who had founded the mission in 1691, the same yearYorktown, Virginia was founded.We walked through rooms with blackened ceilingsfrom the candles that softly light the long nights thatthe priests labored recording the events of the day. Thethick walls of the mission kept the rooms cool thathot Labor Day weekend. In the gardens I saw pearand pomegranate trees that had been planted longago. About 30 minutes later we were on the way tothe Presidio of Tubac where Juan Bautista served ascommander beginning in 1760.Number 62 January 2015
Interpretation and EducationTubac Presidio State Historic ParkAs we parked the car; we walked over to the 1885schoolhouse. Inside we looked at the funny ruleswritten on the chalkboard, one was that girls couldnot play with boys, and if they did the punishmentwould be four whips! A little bit later we went overto the museum and looked at all the exhibits set up. Ithought the printing press one was cool. Afterwardswe walked the grounds, discovering a plaque thatmarking the Luis Maria Baca grant. Can you believethat he was my 5th great grandfather? It is trulyamazing that Juan Bautista de Anza went throughwhat was once my family’s land! I would later learnthat Don Luis served as a soldier under GovernorAnza at the Presidio of Santa Fe (1778-1788), aposition Anza earned after his successful expedition toCalifornia.The Presidioof Tubac was locboundary ofmy 3rd grea ated on the northernt grandfatheBaca’s, landr, Luis Mariagrant.Mission San Xavier del BacThe sun was blazing hot when we arrived at MissionSan Xavier; I see why Anza waited until mid-Octoberto pass through Arizona!! I was marveling at howamazing the towers and domes were on the top ofthe church, they were glowing bright white in thesunlight.My dad was taking MANY, many pictures of me withthe mission. When I walked inside of it, I swear itcould have been a mini version of the magnificentcathedral in Spain! The walls had beautiful paintingson them, as did the ceiling. At the altar, it was soHEAVENLY! The amazing carvings of saints toweredat the altar painted beautifully.Mission San Xavier del Bac; Anza and hisexpedition members worshipped here.The next day my dad and I went to Saguaro NationalPark and it was amazing! I was so giddy when I sawthe first saguaro in my life that my dad thought a bigbug had landed on me!There were literally forests of cacti; it was like acartoon in the wild west come to life! It would befunny if one of the travelers with Juan Bautista deAnza had hugged one! (Ouch!!)Number 62 January 2015Anza and his exthese aweso pedition would have seenme cacti.many of5
Interpretation and EducationSouthern CaliforniaThe travelers encountered many new cultures andpeople on their way to establishing the presidio of SanFrancisco. Some of the places they passed throughare now famous for other things, like the John PaulGetty Museum, which had many beautiful artifactsand the California coast, which had cute seals, manyseagulls, of course the salty ocean air. Brr, the waterwas cold, but I found perfectly shaped sand dollarsand seashells.There were fun places Anza did NOT pass through,but I did! Legoland and Disney California Adventurewere really fun.Central CoastAnza stopped at San Luis Obispo where the travelerswould have enjoyed the companionship of Spanishsettlers and priests. The children must have played atthe beach like I did, searching for seashells, marvelingat the birds and seals, and trying to climb the big ElMorro rock.We then came to Mission Carmel in Monterey, whichwas a stunning mission with many beautiful woodcarvings. The walls were very thick. Seeing it at myage then must have been like what children on theEl Morro. I wonder if children on the AnzaExpedition played on thisbeautiful beach.6The Anza Expedition’s first view of the PacificOcean would have resembled this.expedition felt like when they got to Monterey! Theywould have gotten to sleep on real beds, and usedmany of the plates and bowls displayed in the museumthere.At Monterrey there was the soft white sandy beaches,whale watchers, and many other cool things like thePresidio of Monterey that had cannons and soldieruniforms. There was a horse model with the saddleand such on it to make it look like it would have backin the day.rmelo,rromeo del Rio CaBosorlCanSaMissionFather Serrafounded in 1771 byNumber 62 January 2015White sandy beaches and Spanish gal eons mighthave greeted the AnzaExpedition in Monterey.
Interpretation and EducationSan FranciscoReaching the end of the trail we explored the Presidioof San Francisco. The view of the Golden Gate wasstunning! Since there was not any fog, the waterlooked like a shining sapphire.We stood in awe for what the members of Anza’sexpedition had achieved traveling on horseback andfoot. They would plant the Spanish flag firmly onthe ground we stood on. Anza would be followed byothers, including another of my ancestors, ManuelBaca, who would in 1841 lead his family over the OldSpanish Trail from Santa Fe to Los Angeles, then upthe Anza Trail to Monterey, where he was grantedland in Solano County near San Francisco, site ofpresent day Vacaville, California., and dadMy grandpa, uncleSan Francisco.And my Grandpa, who served in the Army at thePresidio in the 1950s as a driver for the CommandingGenerals. My dad, born at the Presidio, shared manystories about growing up at the Presidio -- long walksin the woods, crossing stone bridges over creeks tothe movie theater, military parades, Easter egg hunts,Halloween trick-or-treating, and Christmas parties atthe General’s home. Together we would walk throughmy Dad’s boyhood home and visit other parts of theGolden Gate National Parks like Forts Point, Baker,and Barry.o oflived at the PresidiMy dad and I near whereAnza would have lookedout at the entrance to San Francisco Bay.Other fun places I visited at the end of the Anza Trailwere Golden Gate Park, The Palace of Fine Arts,Chinatown, and Fisherman’s Wharf. I thought thoseplaces were just awesome!I encourage future Junior Rangers to visit as manyplaces as possible in this story!No need to go on a trip to earn yourJunior Ranger badge!

Anza Trail Foundation UpdateATF Board MemberCarlos HerreraReleases AnzaBiographyJuan Bautista de Anza: The King’s Governorin New Mexico available for pre-order nowfrom the University of Oklahoma Press. Morefrom the publisher’s website:Juan Bautista de Anza arrived in Santa Fe at a timewhen New Mexico, like Spain’s other North Americancolonies, faced heightened threats from Indians andinternational rivals.As governor of New Mexico from 1778 to 1788,Anza enacted a series of changes in the colony’sgovernance that helped preserve it as a Spanishterritory and strengthen the larger empire to which itbelonged. Although Anza is best known for his travelsto California as a young man, this book, the firstcomprehensive biography of Anza, shows his greaterhistorical importance as a soldier and administrator inthe history of North America.Historian Carlos R. Herrera argues that Anza’sformative years in Sonora, Mexico, contributed to hissuccess as a colonial administrator. Having grown upin New Spain’s northern territory, Anza knew the dailychallenges that the various ethnic groups encounteredin this region of limited resources, and he saw boththe advantages and the pitfalls of the region’s strongFranciscan presence.By combining administrative history with narrativebiography, Herrera shows that Juan Bautista de Anzawas more than an explorer. Devoted equally to theSpanish empire and to the North American region heknew intimately, Governor Anza shaped the history ofNew Mexico at a critical juncture.Meet the AuthorFeb. 7 in BurbankThe Genealogical Society of HispanicAmerica, Southern California Chapter(GSHA-SC), invites you to a lecture byCarlos R.

Literary Theory and Schools of Criticism Introduction A very basic way of thinking about literary theory is that these ideas act as different lenses critics use to view and talk about art, literature, and even culture. These different lenses allow critics to consider works of art based on certain assumptions within that school of theory. The different lenses also allow critics to focus on .
