In this episode we’ll read from the wiki pages of the first European explorers, and dare I say... PIRATES?!...of California
That’s right, ye ol scalliwags. We are walking the plank right into some of the first written accounts of California.
But more prescient in this episode compared to those perhaps in the future is the strong ties between California History and World History.
The three explorers we cover today, have literally sailed the world, so we’ll get a good background on who they were, where they came from, and how they influenced cultures in many different regions and realms.
Without further ado, here are the stories of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, el Draco himself—Sir Francis Drake, and Sebastian Vizcaino.
