520 The narrative of the remarkable life of Junipero Serra,
the intrepid priest who led Spain and the Catholic Church
into California in the 1700s and became a key figure in
the making of the American West. In the year 1749, at the
age of thirty-six, Junipero Serra left his position as a
highly regarded priest in Spain for the turbulent and
dangerous New World, knowing he would never return. The
Spanish Crown and the Catholic Church both sought
expansion in Mexico--the former in search of gold, the
latter seeking souls--as well as entry into the mysterious
land to the north called "California." By his death at age
seventy-one, Serra had traveled more than 14,000 miles on
land and sea through the New World--much of that distance
on a chronically infected and painful foot--baptized and
confirmed 6,000 Indians, and founded nine of California's
twenty-one missions, with his followers establishing the
rest.
