Reviews
Grade 4-7. This oversized title consists of double-page topic treatments liberally sprinkled with illustrations. Thus, information is limited to three-to-five paragraphs per spread. However, the book is well organized and clearly written, covering such topics as founding a mission, teaching Christianity, housing and meals, work and workshops, a child's life, etc. A map shows how missions spread across the southern U.S. from coast to coast. Unfamiliar terms are defined contextually and the full-color photographs and illustrations are, for the most part, relevant and well placed. Kalman makes note of both the religious goals of the missionaries and the oppression that resulted for Native Americans. Where introductory materials on the subject are needed, this book can serve as a worthwhile addition.?Rosie Peasley, Empire Union School District, Modesto,

Taken from Chapter 6: The mission community Plazas and quadrangles The mission's main buildings were constructed around a large open area in which people played and gathered for special events. In the eastern regions, these open areas, called plazas, were often round. In the western regions, the open area, workshops, houses, and mission church were sometimes arranged in a square called a quadrangle. The buildings of a quadrangle formed four walls, so the mission could be defended easily if someone attacked from the outside. The doors and windows faced the open area, allowing the padres and guards to watch the neophytes as they worked.
