YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The ninth book from the award-winning author and editor looks at the life and work of Junípero Serra (1713-1784), who left Spain for the New World in 1749. The priest eventually founded nine missions, baptized some 6,000 Native Americans, and left an indelible mark on the American West. Orfalea's evocative history combines biography, anthropology, religion, and geography for a fresh look at the country's formative influences. (Scribner)
