Download or read book Soldiers Scoundrels Poets and Priests written by David J. McLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The living history of California's missions is a mosaic of piety and passion, heroism and greed. This book puts flesh and blood on a profoundly important time in California's history, an extended period of evolution from wilderness to territory to state. This is not a dry recounting of facts, it is a vivid depiction, in words and images, of the people who birthed and nurtured California and the places that formed its shape and character. It is, in fact, the only book that assembles the stories of all the key players in the California mission drama into one fascinating volume. Meet familiar friends like Junipero Serra who founded the first missions and John Charles Freemont, the pathfinder who helped the territory win statehood. Discover the lesser known, but equally impor-tant characters in the play, like Pio Pico who illegally sold mission lands and buildings to enrich his friends and himself, or Francisco Hermenegildo Garces, the "Daniel Boone in Franciscan garb". In 30 biographies and nearly twice that number of photographs, historic and contemporary, the splendour that is the California mission system unfolds before your eyes. This book tells a wonderful tale and provides a unique glimpse into the heart and soul of California: its magnificent missions. Includes: Expanded California Mission Timeline 1768-1853; Updated 12-Page Glossary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Penance of Magdalena: And Other Tales of the California Missions Slowly, very slowly, the greatest and most beautiful of the Missions of Alta California had risen among the swelling lomas of the valley of the San Juan. Brick by brick and stone by stone the simple Indian laborers, under the tutelage of the Fathers, had reared a structure which, in its way and place, might not unfitly be compared with those great cathedrals of Europe in which we see, as in a parable, how inward love and faith work out in material beauty. Huge timbers of pine and sycamore, hewn on Palomar, the Mountain of Doves, many miles away, had been hauled by oxen over trackless hill and valley, to form the joists and rafters that one sees to-day, after the lapse of more than a century, firm and serviceable, fastened with wooden spikes and stout rawhide lashings. In all these labors Teofilo had taken a principal part. As a child he had been christened with the name of Lucas, and had carried it through boyhood. But when about fourteen years of age, he had been transferred from the duties of a herder to learn the simple crafts taught in the workshops; and his industry and intelligence had so commended him to the overseers and Padre Josef that one day the latter, praising him for some task especially well performed, had said, half in jest, "Hijo mio, we must christen you over again. You are excelentisimo, as San Lucas said of San Teofilo in the superscription to his holy evangel; so I shall call you Teofilo, excelentisimo Teofilo, instead of Lucas; why not?"
