This book contains a detailed history of the activities by the Spanish and others attempting to colonize the peninsula of California from 1535 to 1855. Over 125 photographs, maps, and drawings provide the reader with a view of the actions of the Spanish Empire using missions to colonize California. The author's research resulted in new discoveries and facts which are included in this look at the history and the present conditions of the twenty-seven peninsula missions; many relocated to multiple sites. The nearly 200 missionaries who served in Baja California between 1683 and 1855 are also named. This book covers the period from the discovery of California in the 1530s through the establishment of all twenty-seven missions in Baja California to when the last missionaries left in 1855.

This historical story and guidebook is glove-box or backpack friendly and contains the GPS waypoints for the mission sites. The book is made to be easy to use, easy to read and contains a full list of reference books in back, as well as an index.

You can use a debit card or PayPal... you do not need to join PayPal to buy books from our PayPal site. You can buy the old fashion way using a check or money order sent to the PO Box given on the site. However, as that takes days for us to get, I strongly suggest you use the debit card/ PayPal method if you want the free 4th book or quick shipping.

Thank you!
