Mission Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz mission stands atop a hill just a few blocks away from downtown. While the plain, one-story building seems to lack character, inside is the story of soldiers, settlers, missionaries, and pirates! The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of Santa Cruz and California's mission system. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
