Renowned for its world-class vineyards & horse farms, California's breathtaking Santa Ynes Valley also boasts Mission Santa Ines, the "Hidden Gem of the Missions." The adobe Mission reigns over a mountain-rimmed expanse of the Old West, giving her perhaps the most beautiful settings of all the California Missions. She is the 19th of the 21 Missions founded by Franciscan padres from 1769 to 1823. This book traces the steps of the first European explorers who settled the Santa Barbara Coastal region & adjacent interior valleys. It describes their interaction with the Chumash Indian, as well as the cultural contributions of both groups, whose community formed the heart of what is still a largely untouched Valley. Rare archival photographs, paintings & modern photos take the reader back in time to old California. They reveal the early Mission community, preserved artifacts, the Mission's gardens, & her collection of historic paintings, statues, bells, rare "musical boards" & ornate vestments. Mission Santa Ines survived a sometimes stormy history to become one of California's greatest treasures. This book reveals her past glory through a well-researched text & her present charm through stunning color photos of the Mission & the Santa Ynes Valley.

The following book covers the work done by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in California during the 19th century. Franciscans are a group of related mendicant Christian religious orders, primarily within the Catholic Church. Founded in 1209 by Francis of Assisi, these orders include three independent orders for men (the Order of Friars Minor being the largest contemporary male order), orders for women religious such as the Order of Saint Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis open to male and female members. They adhere to the teachings and spiritual disciplines of the founder and of his main associates and followers, such as Clare of Assisi, Anthony of Padua, and Elizabeth of Hungary.
History and description of the California missions.
Saints and Citizens is a bold new excavation of the history of Indigenous people in California in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, showing how the missions became sites of their authority, memory, and identity. Shining a forensic eye on colonial encounters in Chumash, Luiseño, and Yokuts territories, Lisbeth Haas depicts how native painters incorporated their cultural iconography in mission painting and how leaders harnessed new knowledge for control in other ways. Through her portrayal of highly varied societies, she explores the politics of Indigenous citizenship in the independent Mexican nation through events such as the Chumash War of 1824, native emancipation after 1826, and the political pursuit of Indigenous rights and land through 1848.
