Description

Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was founded in 1798. The largest of the 21 California missions, it is nicknamed the King of the Missions. By 1811, the mission population has grown so large that a bigger church was needed. There were also many buildings outside of the mission quadrangle, including storehouses, solders’ barracks, mills, tanneries, workshops, and many of the locals’ homes. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of San Luis Rey de Francia and California’s mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
