Juan of Carmel: A Tale of Mission San Carlos is a historical fiction novel written by Helen M. Roberts. The story is set in the late 18th century in California, during the time of Spanish colonization. The main character, Juan, is a young Native American boy who is taken from his family and brought to Mission San Carlos to be educated and converted to Christianity. The novel follows Juan's journey as he adapts to life in the mission and struggles to reconcile his native beliefs with those of the Spanish missionaries. Along the way, he forms relationships with other Native American children and with the priests and nuns who run the mission. As Juan grows older, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the mission and the treatment of his people by the Spanish. He eventually joins a group of Native Americans who rebel against the mission and seek to reclaim their land and culture. The novel explores themes of cultural identity, colonization, and the clash between different belief systems. It also provides a detailed and historically accurate portrayal of life in the California missions during this time period. Overall, Juan of Carmel is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on a significant period in California's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
