"Nothing has pleased me more here in California than to see how thoroughly awake you are to preserve the monuments of the past, human and natural. I am glad to see the way the old mission buildings are being preserved. This great, wonderful State, this State which is itself an empire, situated on the greatest of oceans, should keep alive the sense of historic continuity of the past, and should as one step towards that end preserve the ancient historic landmarks within its limits."

From Santa Cruz, California, Addresses by President Roosevelt (San Francisco, The California Promotion Committee, printed by The Tomoye Press, 1903) p53-
