Mission San Juan Capistrano

The San Juan Capistrano''s difficult and time-consuming construction speaks volumes to the sometimes high-tension relationship between the Spanish friars and local Indians. The original date set for the construction was October of 1775, which was delayed until November 1776 because of various Indian revolts against the Spaniards. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of San Juan Capistrano and California''s mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
