""‘Vayan Subiendo!"("Everyone mount up!") was the rousing call from Juan Bautista de Anza. In 1775-76, he led some 240 men, women, and children on an epic journey to establish the first non-Native settlement at San Francisco Bay."(Submitted on December 27, 2022, by Joseph Alvarado of Livermore, California.)
