was offered a professor-
ship in mathematics at the royal university of Ba-
varia. He rejected the offer and vowed himself to
the missionary service, as a follower of Saint Fran-
cis Xavier, to whose intercession he attributed his
recovery from a serious illness. He had hoped to
go to the Far East, literally to follow in the foot-
steps of his patron, but there came a call for
missionaries in New Spain and hither he came
instead. Arriving in 1681, he proceeded two years
later, as rector of missions, with an expedition
designed to colonize the peninsula of California.
The natives, though among the lowest in intelli-
gence and morality of any tribes in America, were
unwarlike and tractable on the whole. But a
prolonged drought on the mainland, the base for
supplies, caused the abandonment of the enterprise.

JESUITS ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE 193
Destiny reserved for Kino a more promising
field. Missions had already been established over
all of southern and eastern Sonora. But beyond,
to the west and north, lay the virgin territory of
Pimeria Alta, home of the upper Pimas, a regionw
hich comprised what is now northern Sonora and
southern Arizona. At that day it was all included
in the district of Sonora, to which it belonged until
1853, when the northern portion was cut off by the
Gadsden Purchase.
Father Kino arrived in Pimeria Alta in March,
1687, the very month when La Salle met his death
in the wilds of central Texas, and began a term
of service that was to last for twenty-four years.
The frontier mission station when he arrived was
at Cucurpe, in the valley of the river now called
San Miguel. Cucurpe still exists, a quiet little
Mexican pueblo, sleeping under the shadow of
the mountains, and inhabited by descendants of
Indians who were there in Kinos time.
Some fifteen miles above Cucurpe, on the San
Miguel River, Kino founded the mission of Neus-
tra Sefiora de los Dolores — Our Lady of Sor-
rows.
