Missionaries from Spain interact (and sometimes clash) with other cultures they meet in these six tales of love, faithfulness, and sacrifice that take place in and around four Texas missions, including the Alamo. A brief, balanced introduction describes the historical context and significance. Heavy oil illustrations are appropriate for the time period, if not for the audience. Timeline.
