Pere d'Alberní i Teixidor (January 30, 1747 – March 11, 1802) was a Catalan soldier who served the Spanish Crown for almost all his life. He developed the major part of his military career in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. It is especially remarkable his role in the military history of New Spain, in the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Pacific Northwest in the 1790s, and his later proclamation as Interim Governor of California in 1800.

Biography

Early life

Catalan soldier, First Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia at Nootka Sound, 1790-1794.

Pere d'Alberní was born on January 30, 1747, to a noble and wealthy family of Tortosa, Catalonia, Spain. His father, Jaume d'Alberní i Antolí, was notary public and Honourable Citizen of Barcelona who had married Maria Inés Teixidor on June 24, 1728. The couple had five sons and two daughters. In accordance to Catalan civil law, the oldest brother, Josep Antoni, was named heir to the Alberní state. This also included the right to use the title of notary public. The remaining siblings received a small amount of money. For this reason, the rest of the brothers joined the military service. One brother, Gerònim, went to the Regiment of Córdoba; the other two, Joan Bautista and Jaume Pascual, joined the Foreign Volunteer Regiment. One of the sisters became a nun. Pere joined Spain's Second regiment of the Light Infantry in July 17, 1762 to fight as cadet in the campaign of Portugal during the Seven Years' War when he was only fifteen years old. He remained with this regiment for five years, after which he joined the Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia (Compañía Franca de Voluntarios de Cataluña), an independent military unit composed of Miquelets (Catalan irregular troops).

On August 29, 1789, the Viceroy of New Spain Manuel Antonio Flores, ordered a detachment of Catalan Volunteers to be sent to Nootka Sound, in Vancouver Island, to restablish Fort San Miguel built by Esteban José Martínez in 1789 and later abandoned due to the crisis that came up when Martínez seized some English ships that were trading in the region and, some time later, killed a relative of a Nuu-chah-nulth chieftain, allegedly in self defense. The seize of the English ships originated the Nootka Controversy (or Nootka Incident), which almost led to a war between Spain and England for the dispute of the rights on the Pacific Northwest. Spain had sent various expeditions to the zone during the 1774 to 1789 period, and had been the first European nation to explore the area in 1774 with the the Majorcan-born officer Juan José Pérez Hernández, piloting the ship Santiago, visited the region. The chosen military detachment was the First Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia, with their captain Pere d'Alberní, who, in that moment, was appointed in Guadalajara, New Spain. These soldiers, with nearly 80 men, traveled from Guadalajara to the Maritime Department of San Blas, which was the starting point from where all the expeditions to the Pacific Northwest sailed. Once in San Blas, the Catalan Volunteers joined the expedition of Francisco de Eliza. This expedition, was formed by three ships: the Concepción, under the command of Eliza, the San Carlos, under the command of Salvador Fidalgo and the Princesa Real, under the command of Manuel Quimper. They left San Blas on February 3, 1790, and arrived at Nootka Island on April 5, 1790, after two months.

During the trip to Nootka Island, he was arrested for 70 days in his cabin of the Concepción for having discussed with a high ranked Spanish officer when defending the rights of his men to be adequately dressed and armed and to be paid all the back-pay they were owed.

When Alberní arrived to Nootka Island he had to rebuild the fort, because it was dismantled after Martínez and his men had abandoned it. Alberní fortified the garrison, placing twenty cannons and distributing his men in key points for the defense of the fort, from the sea and from the land. He built barracks, the house for the commanding officers, the house for the captain, ovens, furnaces, a sickbay, and cultivated all kinds of fruits and vegetables to grant the food supplies for his men. He was the first European to cultivate a vegetable garden in the modern-day British Columbia. He also made a registry of measured temperatures, he created a dictionary of 630 native words with their equivalents in Spanish, and he brew beer with conifers to prevent the scurvy. In short, he built, organized and administrated the fort for the well-being of their inhabitants and the travelers that arrived to its port, while many of his men from the Catalan Company participated in explorations in Alaska and the Juan de Fuca Strait, along with Spanish explorers from other companies.

According to Mociño, Alberní successfully gained the esteem and respect from all those who surrounded him, included the natives, whom he flattered with a poem, dedicated to their chief, Maquinna, with music of the Mambrú, a Spanish song, adapted from the French song Marlbrough s'en va-t-en guerre, originally from the War of the Spanish Succession.

Death

Alberní died of dropsy at the age of fifty-five in Monterrey, Alta California, on March 11, 1802. He was buried at the Royal Chapel of San Carlos in Monterrey, California. Today, his remains probably lie under the highway that was built nearby some years ago, because his tomb had never been found. Alberní's will, dated December 16, 1801, leaves everything to his wife, Juana Vélez, a native of Tepic, México. The only daughter they had died before him.
