Background

June 27, 1776 was a big day for the future United States. While the Declaration of Independence was getting its final review in Philadelphia, a group of Native American and Spanish explorers were arriving at a sandy bay on the Northern California coast. They had come 1200 miles from Sonora, Mexico, to establish the town which would one day become San Francisco.
