Book excerpt: The California missions represented the final expansion of the Spanish Empire. From 1769 to 1823, Spanish soldiers and monks built a total of 21 Missions and 5 Presidios (or military forts), stretching North from Mexico, along the Pacific coast, through the territory that was then known as Alta California.Over a short period - little more than 50 years - the Spanish brought a new culture to California, spreading European religion, agricultural practices, and eventually forms of government. The settlements around the missions became the seeds of modern California's major cities. The trail connecting the missions, El Camino Real, became California's first "highway," and its route is closely followed by modern Highway 101.The designs of the missions still influence California architecture. In a very real sense, California as we know it today would not exist without the foundation of the missions.The California Mission Guide provides a quick introduction to the 21 California missions and their history. The book is a companion to the CaliforniaMissionGuide.com website, and is ideal for travelers and tourists who want to explore the California Missions.Note: This book does not contain photographs!

Download or read book The Missions of California written by Powerkids Press and published by PowerKids Press. This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the missions is a compelling human drama that is a vital piece not only of California history, but also of American history. Indeed, many keys to California's past lie in the stories of the 21 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. They are the physical and cultural building blocks on which modern-day California communities and identities are built. However, there are also broader historical lessons to be learned by reading about the mission settlements. As with other pivotal periods in American and human history, the mission era was a time in which different cultures and world views came into contact and conflict. The missions were founded in the 1700s and 1800s by Spanish friars, who had followed explorers to the New World. The friars were missionaries who wanted to bring the Christian religion to the indigenous peoples of the New World. This vital series is compatible with the mission-based curriculum used in fourth-grade California classrooms. It resonates equally with all social studies programs that explore the defunct notion of colonialism and its controversial role in the history of the United States, and with curricula that seek to explore the interaction of different cultures and the rights and voices of indigenous peoples.

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.
