Drawn from the larger book Chase wrote with Charles F. Saunders, these five tales are each set at one of the southern California missions: San Juan Capistrano, San Diego de Alcalá, San Gabriel, San Fernando and Santa Barbara. Padres, Indian converts, buried treasure and a padre’s garden supply the stories.

Gentle regional fiction for lovers of old California and its mission history. Download the free EPUB.
