Learn about the rich history of Mission San Luis Rey de Francia: how it started, the people who ran it, the indigenous population, and its legacy today.
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.
The story is based on a fictional disaster that occurred in Peru on July 20, 1714. A rope bridge woven by the Incas on the road between Lima and Cuzco collapsed when five people were crossing it. They all fell into the river from a great height and were killed. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan friar who was about to cross the bridge himself, witnessed the tragedy. Being deeply pious, he saw in what happened a possible divine providence. Did the dead deserve to have their lives cut short in such a terrible way? The monk tries to learn as much as he can about the five victims, finding and questioning people who knew them. As a result of years of investigation, he compiles a voluminous book with all the evidence he has gathered that the beginning and end of human life are part of God's plan... The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the 1928 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, and remains widely acclaimed as Wilder's most famous work. In 1998, the book was rated number 37 by the editorial board of the American Modern Library on the list of the 100 best 20th-century novels. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
