Mission Santa Ines 

On September 17, 1804, Mission Santa Ines became the 19th mission in California. Although Mission Santa Ines was smaller than the other missions, it was a major producer of goods. The friars taught the locals many trades, and the Indians continued to put their own skills to use. The missions warehouse was filled with many kinds of products that they made, including animals hides, tallow for candles and soap, cloth woven from wool, and dairy products. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of Santa Ines and of California’s mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
