Discovery is a good thing!
Here is the translation of the quote you posted:
"Juan de Dios de las Llagas
Two months after Crespí, Fray Junípero Serra camped for several days in San Juan de Dios. He was forced to do so because a sore that he had already
had for several years worsened and right in the spot it swelled up and prevented him from walking.
It was in that spot where the expedition's muleteer, who often treated the sores on the horses and mules, cured Serra's sore, since then being
relieved of the discomfort. Many considered it miraculous this healing, since no doctor had managed to cure him.
Due to this, for a long time the place was known as San Juan de Dios de las Llagas"

Quote: Originally posted by David K  | Guadalupe was one of the pueblos or rancherias of San Borja. Now, when a priest visits these pueblos for instruction they became 'pueblos de visita'
or visita for short. In Alta California they were known as visiting stations or 'estaciones'. Many had chapels that looked like small mission
churches.
As for the first site of Santa María, that was well documented and at Calamajué.
Sure, I will show content from Linck's diary.
Exploring history is fun! |
Arnes and Diaz had already arrived at San Borja before any mention of the Mission of San Luis. Their arrival freed Linck up to begin work on the next
mission to the north.
They already had the funding, they were using the same endowment used for San Borja. I believe Clavigero included that in his book, it is discussed by
Del Barco. In a 1765 letter Linck even thanks the treasurer for supplies sent to the mission.
I have to very respectfully disagree. The documentation is pretty clear regarding an earlier site.

The Jesuits frequently named proposed missions in their letters, however Arnes and Diaz did not leave San Borja to establish a new mission until they
left for Calamajué In October of 1766.
Another point is there already was a Mission San Luis 1737-1768. That was how they typically called Mission San Luis Gonzaga.
Figuring out the mysteries of the past is fun (to me)!
