The book highlights the challenges faced by the missionaries, including conflicts with the indigenous peoples, rivalries between religious orders, and the political and economic interests of the Spanish government. Through an examination of extensive historical records, including the writings of the missionaries themselves and official reports, the author analyzes the impact of the missions on California's history, society, and culture.
