Summary: De-Bunking Myths of California's Mission History
Comment: This work critically examines the impact of the Mission system on the California Indians. The author interprets mission records about death rates, grain production, livestock and construction to provide insights about Indian life on California missions. The author explores the question: what did the mission system offer that attracted the Indians? The author rejects the simplistic version, taught to California fourth graders, that Indians accepted mission life in exchange for a steady food supply. This book makes a strong case for the role that coercion played in bringing Indians to the mission. The book provides details of Indian resistance to the missionary efforts in the form of revolt, flight, and murder.

Summary: The Case Against the Mission Myth
Comment: It is a pity that there isn't a book summarizing the case against the Mission Myth for younger readers, but guided by their parents, fourth grade students bound to do their history project could profit from the understandings this book shares. Jackson and Castillo present a challenging summary of evidence that shows the devastating effect that the Franciscan-led colonization of California had on its native peoples. The book is controversial because it undermines the case for the canonization of Junipero Serra by pointing out the moral contradictions inherent in the foundation of the missions. Older students (advanced high school and college) will profit by reference to this work.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not a historical text
Comment: I admit, that the authors show careful research and a good deal of work. However, they ruin any historical credibility that they might have. They constantly use terminology that states their peronsal opinions, thereby causing this text to not be truly factual/historical. Opinions have no place in fact or good history!
