Picturesque Pala: The Story Of The Mission Chapel Of San Antonio De Padua Connected With Mission San Luis Rey is a historical book written by George Wharton James and originally published in 1916. The book tells the story of the Mission Chapel of San Antonio de Padua, which is located in the small town of Pala, California. The chapel is connected with the larger Mission San Luis Rey, which was founded in 1798 by Spanish Franciscan missionaries.James provides a detailed account of the history of the chapel, including its construction, its role in the mission system, and the various individuals who were involved in its establishment and maintenance. He also describes the architecture and design of the chapel, as well as the artwork and religious artifacts that adorn its interior.In addition to its historical significance, Picturesque Pala also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Native Americans who lived and worked at the mission. James describes the various tasks and responsibilities that were assigned to the Native American workers, as well as the challenges they faced in adapting to the new way of life that was imposed upon them by the Spanish missionaries.Overall, Picturesque Pala is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of California's mission system, as well as the cultural and social dynamics that shaped the region during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
