DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The story of the missions is a compelling human drama that is a vital piece not only of California history, but also of American history. Indeed, many keys to California's past lie in the stories of the 20 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. This vital series is compatible with the mission-based curriculum used in fourth-grade California classrooms. It resonates equally with all social studies programs that explore the defunct notion of colonialism and its controversial role in the history of the United States, and with curricula that seek to explore the interaction of different cultures and the rights and voices of indigenous peoples.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →San Francisco de Solano was the last of the 21 California missions to be built. Fray Altimira began construction on the mission on August 25, 1823. The Spanish were not the only European settlers to live in the area where San Francisco de Solano was built. The Russians built Fort Ross nearby with plans to colonize the area. As many other missions did, Solano began to decline in the 1830s prompting many Indians to leave the missions in search of more stable circumstances. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of Californias mission system, and this gorgeous mission. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →On the afternoon of September 14, 1786, two French ships appeared off the coast of Monterey, the first foreign vessels to visit Spain's California colonies. Aboard was a party of eminent scientists, navigators, cartographers, illustrators, and physicians. For the next ten days the commander of this expedition, Jean François de La Pérouse, took detailed notes on the life and character of the area: its abundant wildlife, the labors of soldiers and monks, and the customs of Indians recently drawn into the mission. These observations provide a startling portrait of California two centuries ago.
