The Story of Mission San Jose

by Mindy Isham and Gary Dorighi

NEW! An illustrated booklet on the history of Mission San Jose. This 28-page treasure begins with the origins and lives of the local native peoples. It describes Spanish exploration of California and why establishment of the California Missions was so strategic. Its pages are filled with facts, information, and fascinating stories about the founding of the Mission, day-to-day life, and visits by famous characters. Finally, after bringing the reader to the present, the booklet provides a glossary, a timeline, and a handy map showing the location of all the California Missions.

“… a well-organized, fact-based, succinct yet thorough account of the mission’s history.” – Fremont 4th Grade Teacher
