Excerpt from The Old Franciscan Missions of California This volume pretends to nothing new in the way of historical research or scholarship. It is merely an honest and simple attempt to meet a real and popular demand for an unpretentious work that shall give the ordinary tourist and reader enough of the history of the Missions to make a visit to them of added interest, and to link their history with that of the other Missions founded elsewhere in the country during the same or prior epochs of Mission activity. If it leads others to a greater reverence for these outward and visible signs of the many and beau tiful graces that their lives developed in the hearts of the Franciscan Fathers their founders and builders and gives the information needed, its purpose will be more than fulfilled.
