Download or read book On a Mission written by Janet Dowling Sands and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Janet Dowling Sands brings a unique perspective to the story of California's Spanish missions - one that combines history, prehistory, art, culture, and science. In an engaging narrative style, "On a Mission" offers general readers, California history buffs, and interested travelers important but often little-known facts, insights, and discoveries from source documents, scholarly research, and from the extensive literature on the mission era and its aftermath. This volume - both a big-picture history of the missions and a comprehensive guide for visiting them - is illustrated in full color with over 300 photographs and watercolors by the author, and with rare historic images. "On a Mission" begins with California's geology and prehistory, and describes recent scientific discoveries about how and when the ancestors of the first Californians arrived in North America. The history section discusses at length the global context that led to the Missions' founding - the "last stand" of Spain's empire. The mission era is described in detail, from the early explorers through the founding of the twenty-one missions to their secularization and decline. Other chapter topics include the origins of mission style architecture, rare art in the missions, the Californio period and its legacy, and the rebirth and restoration of the missions. Importantly, this book addresses the demographic and cultural impact of the mission system on the many distinct groups of indigenous people who lived in California before Europeans arrived. The Guide section offers road trip itineraries organized by California's historic presidio districts. These include insiders' tips for dining, lodging and nearby attractions. Lovers of California wine will find ideas for exploring some of the State's most beautiful and uncrowded wine regions.
