Missions in California by Edwin Deakin

The Spaniards colonized California after 1769. To evangelize the various native tribes they settled 21 missions along the coast and El Camino Real between San Diego and Sonoma. They served until 1823. The USA annexed the region to Mexico in the 1850s. In the late century Edwin Deakin (1838-1923) showed the state of neglect and degradation of these missions.
