Download or read book Mission Santa Clara de As s written by Amy Margaret and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2003-12-15 with total page 70 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 20 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. 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 Italians in the Santa Clara Valley written by Frederick W. Marrazzo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracted by the mild climate and abundance of fertile land, Italians came to the Santa Clara Valley from all regions of Italy, including Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, Tuscany, and Piedmont. Beginning in the 1880s, the "Eden of the World" beckoned Italian immigrants as farmers, ranchers, orchardists, vegetable growers, and winemakers. Italian men, women, and children filled the numerous canneries and packinghouses supplying the rest of the nation with fresh produce. Once the largest ethnic group in the valley, Italians' impact on the region has been profound, yet is often overlooked. The photographs in this book present a special glimpse into the lives of a people whose irrepressible optimism, kindness, and can-do spirit overcame the challenges and obstacles put before them.

Download or read book Cemeteries of Santa Clara written by Bea Lichtenstein and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strolling through Santa Clara's historic cemeteries, you will find architectural treasures, thoughtful or cryptic verses carved in stone, and monuments everywhere that resist and challenge the ceaseless waves of time and change. Santa Clara Mission Cemetery and Mission City Memorial Park were both founded before the city itself. Santa Clara Mission Cemetery was established by the Jesuit fathers along with Santa Clara College in 1851. Many pioneers are interred here, and beneath the Varsi Chapel floor lies what may be the oldest mausoleum in the valley. Mission City Memorial Park, known simply as the graveyard when it was founded in 1850, once doubled as a dump and a refuge for stray farm animals. It is now a beautifully landscaped, 30-acre cemetery memorializing valley residents of the past 150 years.

Book excerpt: The captivating tale of "Santa Clara's Redemption," the gripping prequel to the novel "Palace of Breadcrumbs," unfolds. Readers are drawn into a realm where rebellion intertwines with hope and community. Father Ezra Velez, a priest fueled by a deep devotion to his great-grandmother Jasmine, dares to make a daring plea to be transferred to a parish nestled within the heart of the city's impoverished slums. Well acquainted with the hardships that plague these downtrodden areas, Father Ezra embarks on a mission to a community on the brink of forced eviction and indifference. In this harsh and indifferent landscape, where his masses are sparsely attended and vices overshadow virtues, Father Ezra faces an arduous uphill battle. The residents appear resigned to their grim fate, yielding to the pressures of ruthless enforcers and the looming specter of displacement. Undeterred, Father Ezra rallies his allies: his compassionate cousin, the esteemed doctor Gabriella Velez Calister, his wise grandfather Sergio Velez, a seasoned denizen of the slums, and his spirited rebel-activist comrades Samantha and Sophia. Together, this diverse band of rebels and believers embarks on a quest to kindle a flame of hope within the hearts of the slum dwellers. Through their collective efforts and unwavering resolve, they strive to offer a glimpse of a brighter tomorrow and a cause worth fighting for. As they navigate the trials and tribulations of the slum community, Father Ezra and his allies epitomize the transformative force of unity, compassion, and resilience in the face of adversity.
