Junipero Serra tells the story of 'California's Founding Father.' A Franciscan monk who hoped to convert California Indians to Catholicism and turn them into European-style farmers, his missions would devastate the Californian Native American population and leave behind a legacy of hurt and divisiveness. This biography places him within the currents of history and covers his years spent as a priest and professor, as an itinerant preacher among Mexico's indigenous population, and his final years on the California coast. 325 pages, softcover.
