Book Synopsis Mission San Miguel Arcangel by : Kathleen J. Edgar
Book excerpt: Mission Miguel Arcángel was founded by Spanish friars and soldiers in 1797 and built by the Salinan Indians. The site that Fray Sitjar chose for Mission San Miguel Arcángel was near the Salinas River. Located in a fertile valley with rich soul, the land was ideal for farming and ranching. The Spanish hoped that many Indians from the nearby village would join the mission. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of San Miguel Arcángel and Californias mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
