Author Talk With Garth Murphy
by Curtis Martineau
The Julian Historical Society Presents:
Kathryn Fletcher - Mission Santa Ysabel And The History Of The California Mission System
historical photographs, tools, artifacts and other books that pertain to his talk. Some of his talking points will be about fire suppression in California and the history around Warner Springs, as well as about people of native culture from his research of the 1850’s to the present time. It is a rare treat to have a speaking engagement with Murphy. The review from Publishers Weekly tells the following about The Indian Lover: This sprawling, romantic debut novel by a native Californian historian/songwriter spans the years 1845 to 1851-the final days of California under the rule of Spain and Mexico-and follows the fortunes of a young Cupa Indian rancher and a starry-eyed American pioneer. Eighteen-year-old Bill Marshall, the son of a Puritan farmer, has just spent four years at sea on a whaling vessel when he is seduced by the siren song of John Trumbull Warner, an entrepreneur who hopes to persuade Congress to build a railroad to California and promises those who travel west a land of milk and honey. Bill persuades Warner's friend Pablo Verdi, a Franciscan-educated young Indian ranch-owner Warner brought East with him, to make the return trip on a whaler. They sign two-year contracts and plan to jump ship together when they make it to San Diego. The first night ashore, Bill falls in love with the mayor's daughter, who is already promised to the son of the ex-governor of California. Pablo, too, finds his plans thwarted-in his two-year absence from the territory, his ranch has been stolen by the present governor. Together they travel north on the Camino Real, heading for Pablo's tribal lands in the shadow of Mt. Palomar. Finally resigned that he cannot have the mayor's daughter, Bill marries the daughter of the local chief. His fate is then bound up with that of the Cupa as they are buffeted between U.S. and Mexican forces and overrun by the gold rush. At times a bit overburdened by detail and repetition, the narrative offers a vivid picture of the early years of pioneer life on the westernmost edge of the continent. Murphy will be bringing hard cover books which will be signed by the author and sell for $20. We hope you will join us at the Julian Library on Tuesday, August 21 at 6 PM. Please join us for a one hour trip through San Diego history with this very knowledgeable historian. This talk will last for approximately one hour and refreshments will follow. For more information, please contact the branch at 760-7650370.
The Spanish missions in California comprise a series of 21 outposts or missions established between 1769 and 1833. The missions were founded by Franciscan priests under the direction of Fr. Junipero Serra in order to evangelize the Native Americans. The missions led to the creation of the New Spain (now Mexico) province of Alta California and were part of the expansion of the Spanish Empire into the most northern and western parts of their new world empire. In March 1769, a party of 219 men called the Sacred Expedition, led by Father Serra and Don Gaspar de Portola, left Lower California to establish the first Spanish church in Alta California. Two groups traveled, one by land and one by sea, meeting in July 1769, on a hillside above a wide bay. On July 16, 1769, Father Serra celebrated the first mass beside a wooden cross in a temporary shelter at the top of what is now Presidio Hill. A mission bell was hung in a nearby tree. It would be the first home of the Mission San Diego de Alcala,named after the 15thcentury saint, Didacus of Alcalá and it shared the land with a military fort. A drought in 1774 forced the mission fathers to move Mission San Diego about six miles inland to its present location, closer to the San Diego River, to gain access to more favorable agricultural lands and the local Indian villages. The native Tipai-Ipai Indians were resistant to colonization and within weeks after the mission’s founding violence had resulted in deaths for both the Indians and missionaries. In 1775, discontented with rules and regulations, hundreds of local Tipai Indians attacked the mission, burning the church and killing Father Jayme, who would become California’s first Christian Martyr. The second church, constructed 1776-77, was replaced by a larger adobe church in 1780, which in turn was damaged by an earthquake in 1803. The present church, constructed from 1808 to 1813, is the fourth constructed at the site. Father Serra chose this site for the mission because of its proximity to Indian villages, a reliable source of water, and fertile land. American Indian laborers cultivated wheat, barley, corn, and beans in the fields and tended orchards and vegetable gardens. By 1797, the mission had cultivated 50,000 acres, supported by an extensive irrigation system. The first Franciscan to visit the
the Santa Ysabel Valley (known as Elcuanan by the local Native Americans) was Father Juan Mariner in 1795. In September of that year Father Mariano Payeras, "Comisario Prefecto" of the California Missions, visited the Valley as part of a plan to establish an entire chain of inland missions, with Santa Ysabel as the "mother" mission. The plan never came to fruition, however. In 1816, the padres at San Diego Mission de Alcalaformally requested permission from the Spanish Governor of California for permission to establish the "Asistencia" for the 230 Christianized Indians living in the area. Father Martin presided over the inaugural mass on Sunday September 20,1818, and many Indians received baptism. By 1821, the Mission included a chapel, granary, several adobe houses, and a cemetery. Among the crops raised by the Indians were wheat, barley, corn and beans. There were also fertile orchards and vineyards. The Mission was also a stopping place on the road from Sonora to San Diego. The plans made for the founding of an inland chain of missions equal in importance to those on the coast, of which Santa Ysabel was to have been a link, were ended by the revolt of Mexico against Spain and the subsequent secularization of the missions by the passage of the Mexican secularization act of 1833. This divided the mission lands into land grants, in effect legitimizing and completing the transfer of Indian congregation lands to military commanders and their most loyal men; these became many of the ranchos of California. The padres became fewer in number throughout the area and work was restricted. After 1836 they ceased to make regular visits to the Santa Ysabel Mission, and the adobe chapel and other buildings fell into ruins. In 1844 Rancho Santa Ysabel (formerly the mission lands) was granted to Jose Joaquin Ortega and Edward Stokes.
Reservations were established in Mesa Grande in 1883 and in Santa Ysabel in 1893. Later, three acres of land were returned to the Catholic Church and once again services were held on the site of the Mission. In 1903 Father Edmund La Pointe, a French-Canadian missionary came to revitalize the mission and work among the backcountry Indians. On September 14, 1924 the cornerstone was laid for the chapel which now stands on the site The Asistencia of Santa Ysabel once possessed two fine sweet-toned bells, one of which was reputed to be the oldest in California. the older bell came from Mission Loreto in Baja California and was inscribed N. S. de Loreto, 1723 (Our Lady of Loreto). The other was dedicated to San Pedro (Saint Peter) and dated 1767. The Mission Indians paid for these bells with six burro loads of wheat and barley. When the adobe chapel crumbled, the bells were removed and placed between two stout poles on a wooden framework beside a brush ramada. The bells were the center of religious observance for the residents of the valley. calling the faithful to all ceremonies. One night in the summer of 1926 the bells mysteriously disappeared. No trace was found for 33 years. Then in 1959 the clappers of the lost bells were returned to the Mission. The clappers were not taken with the bells. They had been placed beside the wooden framework and were found on the morning of the disappearance by Jose Maria Osuna, who took the clappers home for safety. After his death, they were passé to others until finely returned to the Mission where they can be seen in the small museum next to the mission church. Come join us on Wednesday August 22nd at 7pm for this in depth presentation at the historic Witch Creek School House on 4th street and discover the final chapter in the Mystery of the lost Bells of Santa Ysabel.
