Photograph of a painting by Carl Borg depicting the arrival party of Jedediah Smith at the San Gabriel Mission, [s.d.]. Two pioneers dressed in racoon-skin caps and tassled leathers stand to the right of center, while a monk dressed in a Franciscan habit stands to the left to greet them, manipulating with his hands what appears to be a rosary. In the extreme right foreground, a Native American can be seen crouched near an animal harness, his back turned away from the viewer. In the background, other onlookers crowd the entrance to the mission's chapel. The image was photographed from Westways Magazine
