  Juan Bautista de Anza   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Anza's life and exploits were of heroic proportions-he traveled hundreds of miles, opened up unknown regions, established claims for country and church, subdued native populations and kept records that are still studied for the information they provide to historians.
Anza's father, who had once served as temporary governor of Sonora, as well as being Captain at Fronteras, had established a reputation for his fierce battles against the Apaches, and it was during one of the raids that he was killed.
Anza and his 34 men carried with them thirty-five loads of provisions, munitions of war, tobacco, equipage, and other things necessary for an unknown country, along with 65 head of cattle and 140 horses.[2] Their trip was successful and they were back in Tubac in May of the same year.

 Anza Borrego Desert State Park, south California
Anza Borrego Desert is the largest state park in the Southwest, covering 600,000 acres from the edge of the coastal mountains east to the Salton Sea and south almost to the US/Mexico border, and equals the more famous national parks further north for varied, unspoilt desert scenery.
The high country of Anza Borrego Desert State Park offers plenty of trails, some of which extend into the adjacent Cleveland and San Bernadino National Forest lands to the west and north, and these areas are especially popular in summer when the heat in the lower areas can be too intense.
Away from the hills, most of the park is desert - covered by densely growing cacti in some areas but with bare rock and eroded badlands in others, through which run numerous narrow, slot-like canyons and other interesting rocky features.
