This book was THE BIBLE for travel in Baja California in the 60’s and early 70’s. There are probably better books and maps for modern travel but if you are interested in discovering Old Baja there is NOTHING that can beat it. It features a mile by mile travelog with side routes. The 4th edition should have detailed black and white section maps and a fold out colored overall map. Be sure the maps are intact before you buy. Sometimes they get torn out.

Pirates, Corsaries and Philabusters in Old California
By Sealtiel Enciso Pérez
We welcome you to this space where our greatest desire is to promote knowledge of the history, culture and traditions of this beautiful land of Sudcalifornia, Baja California Sur.
This is a research work about the main Pirates who came to our Sudcalifornian coasts and who made tremendous feats of plundering ships on the high seas. Sometimes these pirates did not take anything, on the contrary hid their treasures in these lands waiting to return for them.
Es un trabajo de investigación de los principales Piratas que llegaron hasta nuestras costas Sudcalifornianas y que realizaron tremendas hazañas de saqueo de barcos en alta mar. En ocasiones estos piratas no se llevaban nada, al contrario ocultaban sus tesoros en estas tierras esperando regresar por ellos.

Sea of Cortez
A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research
by John Steinbeck and E. F. Rickets – 1982
The collaboration of two friends-one a novelist, one a novelist, one a marine biologist-produced a volume in which fascinating popular science is woven into a narrative of man’s dreams, his ideals, and his accomplishments through the centuries. Sea of Cortez is one of those rare books that are all things to all readers. Actually the record of a brief collecting expedition in the lonely GUlf of California, it will be science to the scientist, philosophy to the philosopher, and to the average man an adventure in living and thinking.
Scented Soil: San Jose Mission (1730–1840)
In 1730, Nicholas Tamaral arrived either by sea or by land at a place on the coast where there was fresh water; perhaps an oasis or a stream. Looking for a location with suitable conditions, he found a place on a hill with a breathtaking view where he decided to establish the mission. In 1734, he was martyred by the rebellion of indigenous people. The building was destroyed to some extent and abandoned. The region became a visit for missionaries who came at times to celebrate Mass and continue the evangelization. The spiritual conquest ended in 1840 with the abandonment of the missions in Southern California.
