ciscan missions. The new station
was to be under the patronage of Si.
ra and Captain Pedro Fagas, the military ccmmander, decided to locate
it near the Rio de Nombre de Jesus
de los Temblors (River of Earthquakes), a name given to the Rio de
Santa Ana when the Portola. expedition of 1769 camped upon the
banks’ of that stream.
This mission, founded on Setember 8, 1771, and. named San Gabriel
Archangel was near a site that later
became the eity of Los Angeles, and
was to be one of five situated about
one day’s travel a part north of San
Diego.
Two padres, Fr. Pedro Benito
Cambon and Fr. Angel Somera, were
chosen to build the new. mission,
later known as.‘‘Pride of the Mis‘sions’; and on August 6, 1771, with
a guard of ten soldiers, these two
marched out of San Diego. In view
of the tragic events, that came to
pass at San Gabriel, due to mistreatment of the Indians by ,brutal, Spanish soldiers, it is interesting to-read
Father Francisco Palou’s account of
the founding of-the mission as given by Fr. Zephyrin Englehardt, historian of California missions.
“They traveled toward the north,”
Says Father Palou, speaking of the
priests and their military escort, ‘‘on
the road taken by the expedition of
3769. After marching about forty
leagues, they arrived at the Rio de
los Temblores. Just as they were deliberating about the choice of a site,
a sreat multitude of savages, armed
and headed by two chiefs, appeared
and with frightful yells attempted to
prevent the founding of the mission.
“Fearing that a _ battle ‘might
ensue and that some might be kilied, one of the Fathers produced a
canvas picture of Our Lady of Sorrows and put it in view of the savages. No sooner had he done this
than all, overcome by the sight of
Father Junipero Serra, Viceroy Carlos Francisco de Croix in the fall of

work and then in 1776 the establishment was removed te its present location and construction of new

larger church which, in turn, in 1800
was superseded by the existing
building of stone, mortar and brick.
In that year there were 1,078 neophytes at the mission, 1,953 had been

sight of the image of our Lady transformed the savages around Mission
San Gabriel so that they made frequent visits to the Fathers’ and,
following the first holy. mass celebrated under the shelter of boughs
on September 8, assisted the padres
in building a chapel, buildings and
stockade.
With such an auspicious beginning toward mutual understanding it
is a pity that the very soldiers sent
to assist the priests, should have
been the ones to undo the good work
done by the missionaries. Just when
the Indians were going in large
numbers to Mission San Gabriel, one
of the soldiers outraged the wife of
one of the chiefs, and in an, ensuing
clash between the natives and armed guards, the chief was killed. For
a long time the Indians remained
away from the Fathers and it was
not until the offending soldier was
transferred to Monterey that their
confidence in the padres was restored. :

claims, delayed the founding! of Mission San Buenaventura for twelve
years, Commandante Fages fearing
to send any soldiers from San Gabriel north to assist in establishing
another missionary station.
Visiting San Gabriel in September 1772, Father Serra was delight‘ed to find that a number of Indian
-ehildren had been baptised, including the small son of the slain chief,
but excesses being committed by the
‘soldiers against the natives, caused
Junipero personally to complain to
the Viceroy of Mexico, with the result that the military commander of
alifornia was specifically ordered
