French Explorer Arrives in California
Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly, captain of the French ship Le Heros, arrived in San Francisco on this date in 1827. Duhaut-Cilly recorded his observation of California during a worldwide trading voyage as he traveled up and down the Pacific Coast. He published his commentary in 1834, giving one the first peeks to the outside world on life in California. |
