Excerpt from History of Diego 1542-1908 an Account of the Rise and Progress of the Pioneer Settlement on the Pacific, Coast of the United States, Vol. 2: The Modern City
N the 15th of April, 1867, something hap~ pened which radically changed the course of San Diego history. This was the arrival of a man from San Francisco on the steamer Pacific. He was not possessed of large means, represented no organization, and had no personal following, yet was destined to inaugurate a movement which should change the location of the city and start it on the road to real and enduring greatness. In the next chapter we shall have Father Horton's own account of the circumstances which led to his coming and of how he proceeded after his arrival. At this point it is important to get a glimpse of his previous career and to make some characterization of his work in founding the modern city.
