"A Jesuit, Father Eusebio Kino, was the first European to cross from the mainland to the peninsula of California, and to point out the fallacy of the island theory. His map, compiled in 1698, was printed in 1705. This map, however, was not generally accepted: in fact it provoked a fairly strong reaction. Herman Moll in 1711 wrote indignantly that California was undoubtedly an island. 'Why,' he said, 'I have had in my office mariners who have sailed round it.' Finally in 1746 Father Consag sailed completely round the Gulf of California and at last settled the vexed question..." (Tooley, The Mapping of America , p. 111).
