How was this belief held "from medieval times" up through the 18th century? Had Europeans even reached California in medieval times? Meelar 06:50, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Good question. I think it began in 1510, which is late Medieval times by some definitions. It's a little confusing, however, and I'm in the process of rewriting it based on some better info I've gotten. -- Decumanus 06:56, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
