                               _Foreword_


Along the strand of the Pacific between San Diego and Sonoma, the
intrepid monks of the Order of Saint Francis strung that cordon of
missions that were to become, as time went on, the outposts of
civilization along the sunset coast of California.

Begun in 1769, this chain of churches along _El Camino Real_ was
complete by 1823, and in these establishments the devoted followers of
Padre Junpero Serra sought to win for Christ and the Crown of Spain
devotees among the dusky inhabitants of this land. How well they
succeeded may be judged when we learn that often in the more prosperous
missions as many as two thousand Indians were being trained at one time.

  [Illustration: _Cloister, San Diego De Alcal_]

And what was the routine by which these fervent priests of Old Spain
hoped to convert the backward natives of the coast into God-fearing,
self-supporting and self-respecting subjects of his Hispanic majesty,
the king? The system of training prescribed plenty of work accompanied
by instruction in the handcrafts and Christian doctrine. To this end,
each day, the morning bell assembled the Indians in the chapel for
prayers and mass. Following this, breakfast was eaten, after which each
went to his assigned task. At eleven o'clock dinner was eaten; then a
siesta. Work, resumed at 2 P.M., continued until an hour before sunset,
when the Angelus recalled all to worship. After prayers and rosary,
supper was eaten, after which recreation ensued until early bedtime.

  [Illustration: _Bell Tower, San Diego De Alcal_]

  [Illustration: _Bell Tower, San Antonio De Pala_]

This was the happy pattern of life that obtained in these picturesque
missions which at once comprised the early churches, the first schools,
the first factories and the work-a-day habitations of the priests and
their charges. Viewed in this light these old buildings become real
human documents and are therefore very precious to all interested in the
beginnings of civilization within our broad land.

  [Illustration: _Chapel, San Antonio De Pala_]

Through the glamor that time and an exotic origin have cast over these
old monuments, they continue to hold for us a fascination matched by
that of few American structures. And, in journeying to these historic
shrines, you will discover how these hard-headed priests, in sheltering
their converts, created in simplicity and strength a type of
architecture which considered from the standpoint of practical living,
climatic background, materials of construction and ethnic significance,
has rarely been equalled in any land. What a matchless artistic heritage
they have left us!

                         _California Missions_


San Diego was first visited by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542, but it
was not until two hundred and twenty-seven years later that the fear
that Russia or England might take possession of California induced King
Carlos III of Spain to organize an expedition to colonize the land. It
was in 1769 that a band of about two hundred men set out by land and sea
to settle in Alta California. In the last company to come overland was
Padre Junpero Serra, who, although already advanced in age, had been
appointed _Padre Presidente_ of the missions. This extraordinary man
entered into a life of utmost hardship with a fiery enthusiasm that was
never dampened throughout his life, and to him we owe the chain of
historic missions that provide the only link to connect us with the
early life of California and Spain. Twenty-one of these were established
in California, forming an irregular line reaching from San Diego to
Sonoma, and connected by El Camino Real (The Royal Road). Today the
modern highway along the coast, U. S. 101, follows so closely the course
of this road established by the pioneers one hundred and seventy years
ago that one can easily say one is following in the footsteps of Father
Serra and his companions.

On July 16th, 1769, sixteen days after his arrival in San Diego, Father
Serra established the first mission in California--the Mission San Diego
de Alcal. The original site was unsatisfactory so a spot was later
chosen six miles back from the ocean in Mission Valley where the present
buildings now stand. San Diego was one of the wealthiest of the
missions. It had extensive orchards and vineyards, irrigated by an
aqueduct which brought water from the valley. Parts of the old mission
dam which was twelve feet thick, may still be seen. The olive trees
around the Mission form the mother orchard of all California mission
olives. The whole Mission has been restored in every detail. Its belfry,
one of the most magnificent of all the missions, is a three-story wall
pierced by five arches in which hang the old bells.

  [Illustration: _Entrance to Church, San Gabriel_]

  [Illustration: _Bell Tower, San Gabriel_]

Four miles inland from Oceanside, in a beautiful valley, stands Mission
San Luis Rey de Francia. The present buildings were started in 1811 by
Father Peyri, who managed the Mission for thirty years. It is now used
as a church and a Franciscan college. A feature not found in any other
mission is the mortuary chapel, a small octagonal shaped room off the
main chapel. San Luis Rey is typically Spanish in its architecture and
while not one of the most beautiful, it has a stately magnificence that
none of the other missions possesses.

  [Illustration: _Side Entrance to Chapel, San Gabriel_]

  [Illustration: _Faade, San Fernando Rey_]

  [Illustration: _Fountain, San Fernando Rey_]

  [Illustration: _Faade, Ventura_]

Twenty miles inland from Mission San Luis Rey stands San Antonio de
Pala, founded as an asistencia. In its chapel are Indian frescoes
covered for many years with a coat of whitewash given the wall by a
well-meaning padre. Its campanile, in which hang the original bells,
stands in the old cemetery. Pala, nestling at the base of the Palomar
Mountains, is a spot of enchanting beauty.

  [Illustration: _Side Door, Ventura_]

  [Illustration: _Chapel, Santa Barbara_]

The first attempt to found San Juan Capistrano was in 1775, but due to
an Indian uprising Father Lasun was forced to return to San Diego. The
next year Father Serra came and established the Mission. It took nine
years to build and was the largest and most beautiful of all. In 1812
there was an earthquake that destroyed the buildings and killed forty
Indians who were worshiping in the chapel. All of the buildings have
been rebuilt except the chapel, of which one of the seven large domes
still stands in its lonely grandeur, a delight to the artist.
Capistrano, elaborately decorated and artistically constructed, is
sometimes called "Jewel of the Missions."

  [Illustration: _Faade, Santa Barbara_]

  [Illustration: _General View, Santa Barbara_]

San Gabriel Arcngel was a welcomed pause in the long journey from
Mexico to Monterey; it was the first stop after crossing the desert and
mountains. It is distinctively Moorish in its architecture. Its high
buttressed walls are stone to the windows and brick above and have an
outside stairway to the choir loft and campanile. In the courtyard is
one of the largest and oldest grape vines in California.

  [Illustration: _Doorway_]

  [Illustration: _Altar, Santa Barbara_]

  [Illustration: _Detail of Cloister_]

At one time Mission San Fernando Rey de Espaa had an Indian population
of eleven hundred. Today nothing remains of the Mission but one large
building. In it one can see the wine cellar and the large copper brandy
still. Across the street is a large star-shaped fountain copied from one
in Cordova, Spain, a monument to the artistic work of the Indians.

  [Illustration: _Detail of Faade, Santa Barbara_]

Half-way between San Diego and Monterey, Father Serra founded the
Mission Buenaventura. It was the last founded by him. On a hill above
the mission he planted a cross that could be seen from both land and
sea. Today, a replica of the cross stands in the same place. Ventura was
noted for its beautiful gardens but of these nothing remains except two
tall palms. The chapel has been restored and is used daily as a place of
worship.

Mission Santa Brbara has never fallen into a state of decay like its
less fortunate sister missions, as it has always been in the hands of
its founders, the Franciscans. Although damaged by numerous earthquakes,
the last in 1925, it has always been faithfully restored. The light
above the altar has never gone out, the old bells have faithfully rung
the call to Mass. Its walls, six feet thick and mellowed by time, impart
a lasting beauty. The bodies of over four thousand Indians lie in its
tree-shadowed cemetery. In front of the Mission the trickling water from
an old fountain gives one the restful feeling of the old Spanish siesta.
It was at this mission that the great historian, Father Engelhardt,
wrote his great book, "Missions and Missionaries of California."

  [Illustration: _La Purisima_]

Mission Santa Inz was founded to convert the Indians who lived east of
the Coast Range. The Mission not only suffered from earthquakes but also
from an Indian uprising. Today it has been restored to its former
grandeur. Its campanile with its three bells reminds one of Mission San
Gabriel. In its museum is a collection of old vestments and books.

Nothing remained of Mission La Pursima Conceptin but a few crumbling
arches, till it was taken over by the state. Today it stands in all its
former glory, faithfully restored in every detail. The Mission site was
made a State park and the restoration carried out by the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Pursima stands as a monument to a nation's
industry, but lacks the peaceful state of religious tranquility found in
the other missions.

  [Illustration: _Restored Interior, La Purisima_]

  [Illustration: _Detail at end of Cloister La Purisima_]

  [Illustration: _San Luis Obispo_]

It was at Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa that tile was first
manufactured. The buildings have lost much of their Spanish atmosphere,
but the interior is in a fair state of restoration. It is now the active
Catholic Church of the city which was named after it. A few miles from
San Luis Obispo is the Asistencia of Santa Margarita, unique in that the
entire ruins have been covered over by a large hay barn. Horses and
cattle quietly munch their hay through the arched window openings.

  [Illustration: _Sacristy, San Miguel_]

  [Illustration: _San Miguel_]

The very walls of San Miguel Arcngel, due to its sympathetic
restoration, seem to echo the footsteps of the old padres. Inside the
chapel the huge rafters, crudely hewn from logs, are painted in bright
colors. The design painted on the walls by the Indians show large fluted
pillars with a balcony and railing above. The floor is of burned brick,
worn smooth by the tread of bare feet. Its crudely decorated pulpit and
confessional are the same as the day they were built. The Mission did
not have a bell-tower so the bell was mounted on a wooden scaffold. To
enter the ancient edifice is to enter directly into the past.

A few rain-washed adobe walls around which the wind blows constantly is
all that is left of Mission Nuestra Seora Dolorissima de la Soledad. A
picture of dreary desolation and aptly named, Our Lady of Solitude.

  [Illustration: _Doorway to Sacristy, San Antonio De Padua_]

Father Serra founded his third Mission, San Antonio de Padua, in a well
wooded valley. When the bells rang in celebration an Indian appeared out
of the trees, and for the first time a native was present at the
founding of a mission. Its quiet surroundings are very much as they were
in the past. The buildings were constructed of brick instead of adobe.
Parts of a stone-walled irrigation ditch which brought water for many
miles still stand near at hand.

Monterey was used as a mission for but one year and then became the
Presidio Chapel. Behind the Mission is the tree under which the first
Mass in California was offered. Many of the old relics of the early
Church are preserved here. It is now the San Carlos Parish Church.

  [Illustration: _Soledad_]

  [Illustration: _Tower at San Juan Bautista_]

When Father Serra decided to move the Mission from Monterey he chose a
site about five miles away where the Rio Carmelo enters the sea. Here he
founded Mission San Carlos Borromeo, which became the headquarters of
the _Padre Presidentes_ of the California missions. In its quiet
sanctuary are the graves of Father Serra, Lasun, Crespi and Lpez,
names famous in the history of the missions. Father Serra spent most of
his life at San Carlos. His cell, measuring about eleven feet square,
has been restored. The building is Moorish in style.

  [Illustration: _San Juan Bautista_]

A replica in concrete has been built of Mission Santa Cruz. It is about
half the size of the original and stands on the old Mission grounds.

Mission San Juan Bautista stands facing the plaza in the old pueblo of
San Juan. It was here that Helen Hunt Jackson began her famous story,
"Ramona" and Joaquin Murrietta, the famous Mexican bandit, worshipped.
San Juan saw great activity during the gold rush as it was a stage stop
on the road to the mines. The long arcade that extends the whole length
of the building, contains twenty arches. In the garden is a sundial,
placed there by the padres. Its old cemetery is in an olive grove whose
trees cast fantastic shadows on the time worn headstones.

On the site of Mission Santa Clara de Ass stands a concrete structure,
the chapel of the University of Santa Clara. All that remains of the old
buildings are a few tiles in the roof, and a part of the garden wall. In
front of the Church stands the old redwood cross, raised in 1777. It is
now encased in a sheathing of pine.

  [Illustration: _Parish Church, Monterey_]

Mission San Jos de Guadalupe was at one time the most prosperous of all
the missions. In livestock alone it had 12,000 cattle, 13,000 horses and
13,000 sheep. It was the centre of social life for the surrounding
ranches and the stopping place for the Forty-niners who used the Mission
Pass between San Francisco and the mines. Only a part of the living
quarters remains today. Beside this building is the old cemetery, back
of which is the Mission garden.

  [Illustration: _Gateway to Cemetery_]

There was nothing in the original plans of the missions to name one
after St. Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order. The Mexican
Visitador said, "If Saint Francis wishes a mission, let him show you a
good port, and let it bear his name." When Portol discovered San
Francisco Bay he decided that it was the place the Visitador meant, but
it was not until seven years later that the Mission San Francisco de
Ass was founded. It was commonly called Dolores after a small river
that flowed through the Mission grounds. It is quite different in its
architecture from the other missions. It has neither archway nor towers
but a massive faade. Today it stands in quiet simplicity, surrounded on
all sides by modern buildings of the Catholic Church.

  [Illustration: _Bell Tower, San Carlos De Borromeo_]

In the city of San Rafael stands a mission bell guidepost, marking the
site of Mission San Rafael Arcngel.

Fear of the Russians caused the Governor to ask Father Altimira to
establish a mission at Sonoma. He did this without the sanction of the
Church authorities. Mission San Francisco Solano was the last and the
most northerly of the twenty-one missions. It is a plain low building,
facing the plaza.

Of the twenty-one missions originally built one is completely gone,
another a crumbling wall of adobe, and the remainder in only partial
restoration. May they all some day be restored to their original
grandeur, and the romance and history of Old California again be found
in their splendid old walls.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium

with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.

limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the

Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
