Queen Califia ruled over a country of beautiful black Amazons with lots of
pearls and gold. Men were only allowed there one day a year to help
perpetuate the race. Cortez's men thought they found the island in 1535,
because they found pearls. Later, Francisco de Ulloa found that the island
was really a peninsula.

It was part of the Spanish domains. There was a time that
somebody wanted to make California into an independant Hispanic
country.
A rare coincidence that California town names etc are
associated with Feminine. Los Angeles, then this story about the
Amazon connections. Quite a number of towns and places
have been named after the Our Lady.
