    1844 - The History of Oregon and California and Other Territories, Robert Greenhow

The difficulty of effecting an amicable partition of the territories was becoming more urgent. Greenhow’s objective was to show the nature, origin and extent of the various claims.

The Spanish-Mexican women central to this paper include: María Feliciana Arballo, María Ignacia de la Candelaria López, María Antonia Natalia Elija “Josefa” Carrillo, and María Ramona la Luz Carrillo.
