Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo: Discoverer Of The Coast Of California is a historical biography written by Henry R. Wagner. The book tells the story of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer who discovered the coast of California in the 16th century. The author traces Cabrillo's journey from his birthplace in Portugal to his arrival in Mexico, where he was commissioned by the Spanish government to explore the Pacific coast of North America. The book provides a detailed account of Cabrillo's voyage, including his encounters with Native American tribes and his exploration of the California coastline. The author also explores the political and economic factors that motivated Cabrillo's expedition, including the Spanish quest for gold and the desire to establish a trade route with Asia. Wagner's book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive overview of Cabrillo's life and legacy. The author draws on primary sources, including historical documents and archaeological evidence, to paint a vivid picture of Cabrillo's world. The book is written in an engaging style that will appeal to both scholars and general readers interested in the history of California and the early exploration of the Americas.
