Excerpt from Peninsular California: Some Account of the Climate, Soil, Productions, and Present Condition Chiefly of the Northern Half of Lower California I have known the peninsula of Lower California, by conversation with inhabitants and with explorers and those who had grazed cattle in it, and by the study of reports upon it, for many years. In 1881 I made a journey through the upper part of it as far as Todos Santos Bay, which abundantly confirmed all the reports I had heard of its fitness for agriculture, its sufficient water supply, and fine climate. In the summer of 1887, in the course of a sea-voyage to La Paz, I stopped at Ensenada, and found there the headquarters of an American company which had ao quired lands and the right to sell them to foreign col onists and settlers a privilege formerly denied, but granted under recent liberal laws of Mexico. As I had for many years desired to own land in the Peninsula, being convinced of the excellence of the country and cli mate, I selected and bought a small tract on and near the bay of Todos Santos.
