Garces

Hey Netherzone! The article says, The first white man to reach the Kern River was the Franciscan Padre Francisco Garcés on his overland journey to Monterey from the Spanish settlements in New Mexico. Did Garces ever get within 50 miles of Scovern? He entered via Tejon and used Oak Creek Pass to return to the Mojave. Kern River Valley cites Joseph R. Walker as the first European known have made contact with the Tübatulabal. I'm thinking the entire section about Garces and the Yokuts can go; it's not particularly relevant to Scovern. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:17, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Jpgordon, Hi! I will look into it. Thank you for the Walker info from the KRV. Will trim back the section on Garces & Yokuts after I look deeper. Best regards, Netherzone (talk) 15:21, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello again, I removed most of that paragraph (I agree it was superfluous) but left one sentence that was sourced to the Audubon California Kern River Preserve. I find the content in the remaining sentence useful to the readership because it explains that it was a process of contact with the Tübatulabal. I had a look at the Kern River Valley article to fact check re: Joseph R. Walker as first contact, but it's not sourced. Please let me know what you think, and if you feel that the remaining sentence should go, I won't object. Thanks again! Netherzone (talk) 22:57, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Nice work. Heh, folks up here would argue that Garces didn't meet with the Tubatalabl, he met with the Palagewan. None of which is particularly relevant to Scovern's history. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 04:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
