At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 1909, Don Gaspar de Portola, discoverer of San Francisco Bay, stepped in his resplendent Spanish outfit off a boat on the San Francisco waterfront, mounted his noble steed and was escorted by a company of halberd-wielding dragoons up Market Street as thousands of his loyal subjects cheered.
When he arrived at Union Square, Don Gaspar knelt and kissed the hand of beautiful Queen Vergilia, ushering in five days of mad carnival that ended only when the gracious don ascended into the sky in a hot air balloon.
