Pioneer Spanish Families In California: With Special Reference To The Vallejos And The Missions Of Alta California

By Charles Howard Shinn and John T. Doyle

Book Overview

Pioneer Spanish Families in California: With Special Reference to the Vallejos and the Missions of Alta California is a historical book written by Charles Howard Shinn. The book explores the history of the Spanish families who settled in California during the 18th and 19th centuries, with a particular focus on the Vallejos and their role in the establishment of the missions in Alta California. The book provides a detailed account of the lives of the Vallejo family, including their origins in Mexico, their migration to California, and their involvement in the founding of the missions. The author also examines the broader historical and cultural context of the Spanish colonization of California, including the impact of the missions on the indigenous population.Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, Shinn paints a vivid picture of the daily lives of the Spanish settlers, their relationships with the native peoples, and the challenges they faced in establishing a new society in a distant and unfamiliar land. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of California, the Spanish colonial period, or the cultural interactions between different groups in the early American West.Arturo Bandini, The Camulos Ranch, Juan B.
