Old Mission Stories of California
Of the last six stories comprising the
seven in this little collection of Stories
of the Old Missions, all but one have, as a

historical fact, the tale of Juana alone
being wholly fanciful, although with an
historical background. The first story of

among the Indians and Spaniards in Nueva
California during the early days of the past
century.
