Found in | Kramer, Wendy. El español que exploró California, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (c. 1497-1543), 2018: title page (Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo) Wikipedia, viewed July 5, 2019: (Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (1497 - January 3, 1543) was a Spanish explorer born in Palma del Río, Córdoba, Spain, although he is also claimed by tradition as a native of Portugal. He was a maritime navigator known for exploring the West Coast of North America on behalf of the Spanish Empire. Cabrillo was the first European to navigate the coast of present-day California in 1542-1543. Cabrillo had shipped for Havana as a young man and joined forces with Hernán Cortés in Mexico (then called New Spain). Later, his success in mining gold in Guatemala made him one of the richest of the conquistadores in Mexico. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo served under the command of Pánfilo de Narváez and aided him in the conquest of Cuba about 1518. He died in the Channel Islands off the coast of California) |
