Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Pious Fund of California from its origins in the late 17th century to a landmark legal case in the 1870s. The Fund was established by a group of wealthy individuals to support the establishment of Catholic missions in Baja California. The author traces…the history of the Fund as it was administered by the Jesuits and later by the Franciscans, and its eventual seizure by the Mexican government in 1842. The author also traces the legal battle waged by the Catholic Church to recover the Fund, which was eventually successful in the 1870s. The book provides rich historical detail and explores the complex legal and political issues surrounding the case. It is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of California, the Catholic Church, and the development of property law in the Americas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
