Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an intimate guide to Californiaâs historic trail and missions, follows the infamous El Camino Real, beginning at its southernmost point, the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá. The author explores the 21 historic missions the Spanish priests established along this trail, starting in the late 18th century. Each mission had a secular and religious purpose, attempting to balance the influence of the Spanish Empire and the Catholic Church, leading to many conflicts. Despite intentions, these missions played a crucial role in the development of California. Despite secularization, which led to the confiscation and pillaging of mission assets, efforts have been made to restore these historic sites. This book is an exploration of these missions, their history, and the tales that are intertwined with them.
