Baja California - Land of Missions
Introducing . . .
|
M & E Books is proud to announce the publication of Baja California Land of Missions written by David Kier.
This 243-page work is a detailed history of the activities by the Spanish Empire, commissioning several orders of Catholic priests,
and others, in an attempt to colonize the peninsula of California between 1535 and 1855. All twenty-seven missions are detailed as well
as the satellite visita outposts and the more obscure, little-known, associated sites. The padres who served at each mission are listed
along with the years they served. The El Camino Real mission road is discussed. Why the missions failed and what happened since they closed
is also told. GPS waypoints for each mission and additional places of historic interest are provided. The mythical lost missions are
detailed as well. Over 125 photographs, drawings and maps will visually take the reader to the missions as they were, and as they are now.
A reference list of books plus detailed index will assist in further mission study or research. ISBN 978-1-4951-9121-3 |
