Cattle ranging" was the chief industry of the 

 Spanish and Mexican pioneers of California. The 

 expedition from Lower California which reached 

 San Diego in 1769 was in a way tripartite in that

 an agricultural head. Whatever honor pertains to 

 the agricultural phases of the effort to civilize Cali- 

 fornia should be awarded to Captain Rivera who 

 was the herdsman of Junipero Serra and Portola 

 and successfully did the practical things essential 

 to the success of the spiritual and political features
