| Old Mission Stories of California Stories of the Old Missions of California By Charles Franklin Carter Author of "The Missions of Nueva California" and "Some By-ways of California" San Francisco MCMXVII Paul Elder & Company - Publishers Copyright 1917, by Paul Elder and Company San Francisco Contents Foreword The Indian Sibyl's Prophecy The Flight of Padre Peyri Father Zalvidea's Money La Beata Juana Father Uria's Saints Pomponio Foreword Of the last six stories comprising the seven in this little collection of Stories of the Old Missions, all but one have, as a basis, some modicum, larger or smaller, of historical fact, the tale of Juana alone being wholly fanciful, although with an historical background. The first story of the series may be considered as introductory to the mission tales proper. In these quiet, unpretending stories the writer has attempted to give a faithful picture of life among the Indians and Spaniards in Nueva California during the early days of the past century. October, 1917. |
