Produktbeschreibung
William Henry Hudson (1862 - 1918) was Professor of English Literature at Stanford University. In July of 1769 a group of men came from San Fernandez de Villicata to the Bay of San Diego. Their goal was the political and spiritual conquest of the great Northwest coast of the Pacific. Carlos III hoped "to establish the Catholic faith among a numerous heathen people, submerged in the obscure darkness of paganism, and to extend the dominion of the King, our Lord, and protect this peninsula from the ambitious views of foreign nations." For nearly nineteen years after his arrival in Mexico, Father Junipero was engaged in active missionary work, mainly among the Indians of the Sierra Gorda. He was then asked to head up the missions in California. This is the story of his work and the early missions.
Autorenporträt
William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 - 18 August 1922) was an Anglo-Argentine author, biologist, and ornithologist known in Argentina as Guillermo Enrique Hudson. Hudson was the son of English and Irish settlers Daniel Hudson and Catherine (née Kemble) in the United States. He was born and raised in the little estancia "25 Ombues" in what is now Ingeniero Allan, Florencio Varela, Argentina. In 1846, the family moved further south, to the environs of Chascoms, not far from the lake of the same name. Hudson spent his youth in this natural environment studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, while publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He was particularly fond of Patagonia. Hudson moved to England in 1874, settling on St Luke's Road in Bayswater, where he would spend the rest of his life; in 1876, he married his landlady, former singer Emily Wingrave, in Kensington, London. She was born on 22 December 1829, one of John Hanmer Wingrave's daughters, and was eleven years older than Hudson.
