American History Through the Eyes of Radio ep7 1735 Cavalcade Of America – Father Junipero Serra

American flags, with a diversity of citizens standing in front. Men in jeans and t-shirts.
People in front of American flag. "Used with permission from Microsoft."

The story of the colonization of Califormia.

The orchestra plays, In a Momentary Garden.

A young priest sets out for the West coast, and New Spain. Might it be his zeal for gold that drives hin? He insists it is to do missionary work for the natives of the new world.

Arriving at Vera Cruz, he learns about the nature of military rule in the land. The conquest of the soldiers tend to undo the good work of the priests. Will the young priest be able to convince the military that leading wih kindness, wil go furthe in fostering loyalty of the locals?

Teaching the people to farm the land lliving in peace work, but surprise the military leader.

Note: Audio begins to skip a lot.

Through the rough audio, we can guess how the work ofthe priest pays off.

The typical Duponte message is also garbled, but you can guess that its all abou how chemicals help.
