“ In the long chain of noble names—warriors, conquerors, statesmen—whose brilliant lives are written in the story of Spanish conquest, the name of De Vega stands well to the fore—
A De Vega stood with Balboa when he discovered the Pacific. A De Vega fought with Pizarro in the conquest of Peru. On "The Night of Tears", when Cortes drenched the new world with the best blood of old Spain, a young De Vega died in armor.
Though the home of the De Vegas has long been on California soil, the eldest son of each new generation returns to Spain for a period of travel and study. ”
