(largely from R.S. Street's bibliography)

For the problems of overland transportation and the need for a route across the Sonoran Desert, see Miguel Costanso, Report to the Viceroy, Sept. 5, 1772, in Bolton, ed. and trans., Anza's California Expeditions, 5: 8-11.

The food crisis is described in Serra to Father Francisco Palou, Monterey, August 18, 1772, in Maynard Geiger, ed., Palou's Life of Junipero Serra (Washington, DC: Academy of American Franciscan History,1960), 124-26.

For early planting and descriptions of starvation see Antonine Tibesar, ed., Writings of Junipero Serra (Washington, D.C.: Academy of American Franciscan History, 1955), 1: 227, 297, 367; 3: 145; and Herbert E. Bolton, ed., Font's Complete Diary: A Chronicle of the Founding of San Francisco (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1931), 177-78, 301-303.

Father Rafael Verger, head of the College of San Fernando in Mexico City, complained in a letter to Viceroy Antonio Maria Bucareli y Ursuia, Dec. 25, 1772, that "What is lacking is hands to cultivate and work the fields because the soldiers do not want to help in any way in this task," AGI, Chapman Document No. 1939, HL.

For the impact of diseases, see Mann, Charles C. (2002). 1491. Atlantic Monthly 289. 3 (March 2002): 41-53. Full text, with links. Early treatments of the situation specific to California include:

Benites, Jose. California's First Medical Survey: Report of Surgeon-General Jose Benites. Trans. Sherburne F. Cook.  San Francisco: California and Western Medicine, 1937.

For a modern perspective on the situation further north, see Boyd, Robert T. The Coming of the Spirit of Pestilence: Introduced Infectious Diseases and Population Decline Among Northwest Coast Indians, 1774-1874. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1999. 428 pages.

"In the late 1700s, when Euro-Americans began to visit the Northwest Coast, they reported the presence of vigorous, diverse cultures - among them the Tlingit, Haida, Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl), Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), Coast Salish, and Chinookans - with a population conservatively estimated at over 180,000. A century later only about 35,000 were left. The change was brought about by the introduction of diseases that had originated in the Eastern Hemisphere, such as smallpox, malaria, measles, and influenza." "The Coming of the Spirit of Pestilence examines the introduction of infectious diseases among the Indians of the Northwest Coast culture area (present-day western Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, and southeast Alaska) in the first century of contact and the effects of these new diseases on Native American population size, structure, interactions, and viability. The emphasis is on epidemic diseases and specific epidemic episodes."--BOOK JACKET.

For a recent assessment of native population levels, see Livi-Bacci, Massimo (2006). "The Depopulation of
Hispanic America after the Conquest
." Population and Development Review 32. 2.

For uprisings, see Kieran McCarthy, ed. and trans., "The Colorado Massacre of 1781: Maria Montielo's Report," Journal of Arizona History 16 (Autumn 1975): 221-25.

The classic interpretation of the Spanish mission system is still Herbert E. Bolton, "The Mission as a Frontier Institution in the Spanish American Colonies, " American Historical Review 23 (October 1917): 42-61. A modern update is John Francis Bannon, The Spanish Borderlands Frontier, 1513-1821 (New York: Holt Rinehart, and Winston,1970). The best recent effort is Harry W. Crosby's magisterial Antigua California: Mission and Colony on the Peninsular Frontier, 1677-1768 (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1994), esp. 390-93.

For images relating to the myth of cannibals, see Jill Holslin's gallery (not very relevant to California, but shows widespread attitudes).
