California Missions
Over 80 Superb Photographs Presenting the Beauty and History of California’s
Famous Missions
by Floyd Ray
Introduction and Text by Karl F. Brown

The Franciscan Missions of California form the only definite link between
California’s historic past and the present. Father Juniper Sierra built the
first mission at San Diego in 1769. Fifty-four years later and six hundred
miles north, the last mission was established at Sonoma. This boo of superb
B&W photos has caught the rugged pioneer spirit of these early missionaries,
combining it with the present tranquility that now surrounds these historic
shrines. This is an invaluable book for the student of regional history and
the lover of photography.
