San Juan Bautista (St. John the Baptist), California
This Mission was founded in 1787. A later church – the present structure – was begun in 1803. Its interior decorations were executed by a citizen of the young United States whom the padres called Felipe Santiago, but whose real name was Tom Doak.


Mission Church at Laguna, New Mexico
The church in the Laguna pueblo was built after the reconquest-in 1699-and experienced a peaceful career. It contains some interesting paintings done upon elk and buffalo skins instead of canvas.


The Home of Ramona
Scenes on the Camulos Ranch, California
Entrance to the Chapel
Camulos Ranch has been an object of literary pilgrimage ever since Helen Hunt Jackson went to southern California in 1882 and built up her immortal story of “Ramona” upon experiences and impressions gathered during a visit to this old Spanish California plantation. “Ramona” is the most widely read book in California to-day despite its age. An authority who is foremost in knowledge and experience in the matter deems it a conservative estimate that the novel has been worth $50,000,000 to southern California in the tourist interest that it has aroused.


Looking up at Boro Buddor
Forty years ago, before excavation, this ancient shrine looked like a hillock of earth overrun with plants and bushes.
