Claudio and Anita: A Historical Romance of San Gabriel's Early Mission Days is a novel by Maria S. Lopez De Cummings that tells the story of two young lovers, Claudio and Anita, who meet and fall in love in the early days of the San Gabriel Mission in California. The novel is set in the late 1700s and early 1800s, during a time when the Spanish were establishing their presence in California and building missions to convert the indigenous people to Christianity. The novel follows Claudio, a young Native American man who is taken from his village and brought to the San Gabriel Mission to be trained as a carpenter. There he meets Anita, a young Spanish woman who has come to the mission with her family. Despite the cultural differences between them, Claudio and Anita fall in love and begin a secret romance. As their love grows, Claudio and Anita must navigate the challenges of their different backgrounds and the disapproval of their families and the mission priests. They also face the threat of violence from the nearby tribes who are hostile to the Spanish presence in the area. Claudio and Anita is a historical romance that offers a glimpse into the early days of California's history and the clash of cultures that occurred during that time. It is a story of love, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
