Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Californian Trails, Intimate Guide to the Old Missions: The Story of the California Missions
The writer of this book is no exception to the rule. He freely acknowledges deep indebtedness to these three historians; and also to Messrs. James, Saunders and Chase, as well as to many lesser' lights who loaned tid-bits from odds and ends of book and pamphlet. He hopes to have brought to the surface such historic facts, chit-chat and fable as will be of interest even to the casual reader and traveler. Appreciation is also due the artist-photographers, Messrs. C. C. Pierce, Taylor, Putnam and Valentine, whose pictures appear in the book. To them and others - all thanks.
