Book excerpt: The Presidio of Monterey is best known as the home of the post-World War II Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, the Department of Defense's acknowledged leader in foreign language training. It has, however, a much longer and rich history. After the United States seized Monterey in 1846, the U.S. Army began constructing Fort Mervine, which served a number of purposes until it was abandoned in 1866. In 1902-1903, a modern cantonment was built in the area. In 1904, the new post was officially renamed the Presidio of Monterey after a nearby Spanish fort established in 1770 that had fallen into disuse. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, the post was home to infantry and cavalry regiments, as well as an inductee reception center. The Military Intelligence Service Language School was moved to the Presidio of Monterey in 1946 and renamed the Army Language School in 1947; this evolved into the present-day Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storm-tossed caravel ship San Salvador passed the coastline of Point Pinos in 1542 and propelled Portuguese shipwright and sailor Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo into history with the discovery of Alta California for the Spanish crown. An enduring legacy followed with Fr. Junipero Serra's landing in San Diego and the founding of his first mission in 1769. Into Alta California entered explorers, soldiers, and Franciscan missionaries bringing their culture, faith, and intent to colonize the New World. Father Serra's 1770 journey to Monterey, carefully planned in Mexico City, involved the arrival of a few hundred intrepid travelers over land and sea to secure Alta California's new capital. A small group consecrated Mission San Carlos de Borromeo in the pine-forested flat of New Spain's presidio. The momentum of the missions over the next 80 years resulted in California's statehood and in the raising of the American flag in Monterey by 1850.

Excerpt: ...where they accidentally left a Pilgrim's Staff (bordon) with an iron cross attached. The next morning the Indians came to the vessel in a canoe and returned it to the missionaries, for which act the island was named Santa Cruz. The vessel continued her voyage, and coming to the latitude of 34 40', she stood to the southward in search of the Port of San Diego in 32 40', which she reached on the 11th of April.' LETTERS OF FATHER CRESPI AND OF SERGEANT ORTEGA: 1770. We have refrained from interrupting the narratives of Engineer Costanso and Father Crespi, although certain letters exist that tend to explain some of the statements therein. After earnest examination and two days of final deliberation the oflicers and fathers declared there was no Port of Monterey; they expressed doubts of the pines being large enough for masts; and somewhat traduced the character of the Indians. We therefore feel warranted in introducing at this stage extracts from some letters before reciting the events of the successful expedition of 1770. These are Father Crespi's letters of January 24, 1770, to Father Palou; Father Crespi's report to Father Palofi, February 6, 1770; Sergeant Oretga's report to Father Palou, February 9, 1770; and the character of the Indians as understood by the oflicers and by Father Crespi. FATHER CRESPI'S OPINION OF THE PORT OF MONTEREY: JANUARY, 1770. Extract from a letter to Father Palou, upon the return of the first land expedition to San Diego: "Those who departed from this place, San Diego, on the day of "Sefior San Buenaventura Obispo July 14th, 1769, for "Monterey have returned this 24th of January of the present year " 1770; with the merit of having been compelled to eat...
