Lieutenant Colonel Juan Batista de Anza was the
Spanish Governor of New Mexico from 1778 to 1789
and was also the first white man to cross into Upper
California overland by the way of Southern Arizona
and over the Colorado River. While Governor of
New Mexico, he headed a troop of soldiers that de-
feated and killed the notorious Chief Cuerno Verde
of the Comanches. Also led an expedition to the
relief of the starving Hopis in 1780. (In 1775 the Hopi
population was 7,500; three years later their popula-
tion was decreased by an epidemic of smallpox to
798).
