From the front flap: "The fascinating story of the missions of North America traces the long trail of 'the friars (who) went forth from Catholic Europe to gain converts among the American Indians...to colonize America for Spain and thereafter to deny its riches to any other Power.' The missions themselves represent a unique example of building on a frontier, memorializing a 'grand endeavor': the westward extension of the great Crusades to the East."
