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.
