Description: The term Presido can be confusing, since it is used by different people in different ways. In its broadest sense, and the one used by many of the early American travelers to California, it can be applied to any Spanish military reservation, no matter how small or how large. In this respect the word comes closest to its Latin ancestor Praesidium, meaning a garrison or fortification. On the other hand, modern Spanish usage restricts the term largely to prisons or placeso f deportment for criminals. HIstory of the Presidio in California. Black and white photos.
