Download or read book Wind Warrior written by Vella Munn and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1999-03-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chumash tribe dwelled in harmony with the land, worshiping their gods and spirits. In the 1880s the Spanish drove them from their homes, forcibly converted them to Christianity, and made them slaves under priests and military commanders. A colonel in the Spanish army moves his wife and his daughter, Lucita, to the rough life of a Catholic mission in Alta California. On the journey to the mission, Lucita glimpses a half-naked Chumash warrior and is overwhelmed by the power of his gaze. Black Wolfe, once a captive of the priests, knows that the new garrison has come to hunt him down, for he gravely wounded one of the mission guards. He does not understand why he showed himself to the Spanish woman, but something about her draws him near. Lucita's father demands that she marry a Spanish businessman. But at Black Wolf's side Lucita discovers that there is more than one kind of faith in the world, and that love can be a bridge uniting two very different hearts.
Download or read book Colonial Rosary written by Alison Lake and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California would be a different place today without the imprint of Spanish culture and the legacy of Indian civilization. The colonial Spanish missions that dot the coast and foothills between Sonoma and San Diego are relics of a past that transformed California's landscape and its people. In a spare and accessible style, Colonial Rosary looks at the complexity of California's Indian civilization and the social effects of missionary control. While oppressive institutions lasted in California for almost eighty years under the tight reins of royal Spain, the Catholic Church, and the government of Mexico, letters and government documents reveal the missionaries' genuine concern for the Indian communities they oversaw for their health, spiritual upbringing, and material needs. With its balanced attention to the variety of sources on the mission period, Colonial Rosary illuminates ongoing debates over the role of the Franciscan missions in the settlement of California. By sharing the missions' stories of tragedy and triumph, author Alison Lake underlines the importance of preserving these vestiges of California's prestatehood period. An illustrated tour of the missions as well as a sensitive record of their impact on California history and culture, Colonial Rosary brings the story of the Spanish missions of California alive.
