""A Sketch Of The Settlement And Exploration Of Lower California"" is a historical account of the early settlement and exploration of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. Written by John Ross Browne in 1869, the book provides a detailed overview of the region's geography, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples, as well as the efforts of Spanish missionaries to establish missions and convert the local population to Christianity. Browne also describes the various expeditions and explorations that took place in the region, including those led by Jesuit missionaries, Spanish soldiers, and American adventurers. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early history of this remote and rugged part of Mexico, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of exploration and settlement in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
