A Mission for the People: The Story of La Purisima

38 pp. | Holt | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-5050-7
(4) 4-6 In this history of Mission La Purisima in California, topics addressed include the effect of the Spanish missions on the life of the Chumash people, the destruction of the mission in 1812 by an earthquake (and its subsequent rebuilding), and the Mexican War of Independence. Both the text and the illustrations are adequate but somewhat bland. A time line concludes the book. Bib.
