- Francisco Atanasio Domínguez
Francisco Atanasio Domínguez, a native of Mexico City, was ordained a Franciscan priest and missionary and explorer of the Southwest United States. In 1776, he was sent to New Mexico in a supervisory role, for inspecting missions along the Santa Fe trail. He also was assigned the task of helping fellow friar Silvestre Vélez de Escalante and cartoprapher Bernardo Miera y Pacheco to organize and lead an expedition to missionary outpost in Monterey, California, during which they passed by the Grand Canyon and were the first white men to go through Utah. This group is sometime referred to as the Dominguez-Escalante Expedition.
Upon his return to Santa Fe and Maxico City, Domínguez submitted to his Franciscan superiors a report that was highly critical of the administration of the New Mexico missions. His views caused him to fall out of favor with the Franciscan hierarchy, and leading him to an assignment to an obscure post in northern Mexico.
Although the expedition of Escalante failed to reach California, it brought back knowledge of uncharted lands of present-day Utah.
