CALIFORNIA MISSIONS

This issue tells the story of the California missions, from the earliest days right up to the present.

Explore what daily life was like for neophytes (Native American residents) and padres at the missions. Find out how archaeologists today are digging up clues to mission mysteries. Meet fascinating mission characters such as Father Serra, the founder of the chain of settlements, Toypurina, the organizer of an Indian rebellion, and Joseph Chapman, the Yankee engineer.
