[cite web|url=http://www.abcbookworld.com/?state=view_author&author_id=4228 |title=BC Book World - Juan Crespi|accessdate=2007-12-03] He came to America in 1749, and accompanied explorers Francisco Palóu and Junípero Serra. In 1767 he went to the Baja Peninsula and was placed in charge of the Misión La Purísima Concepción de Cadegomó. In 1769 he joined the expedition of Gaspar de Portolà to occupy San Diego and Monterey; he authored the first written account of actual interaction between Franciscan friars and the indigenous population after his expedition traveled through the region known today as Orange County on July 22 of that year. The following year he founded the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, in the present-day Carmel, which became his headquarters. He was chaplain of the expedition to the North Pacific conducted by Juan José Pérez Hernández in 1774. His diaries, first published in H. E. Bolton's "Fray Juan Crespi" (1927, repr. 1971), and published in the original Spanish with facing page translations as "A Description of Distant Roads: Original Journals of the First Expedition into California, 1796-1770" (2001) [Crespí, Juan: "A Description of Distant Roads: Original Journals of the First Expedition into California, 1796-1770", edited and translated by Alan K. Brown, San Diego State University Press, 2001, ISBN 1879691647] provided valuable records of these expeditions. One chapel he built, at the Misión San Francisco del Valle de Tilaco in Landa, is reported as still standing. [*Gross, Ernie. "This Day in Religion". New York: Neil-Schuman Publishers, 1990.
