Book Overview

Father Junipero Serra: A New and Original Historical Drama in Four Acts is a play written by Chester Gore Miller and published in 1894. The play tells the story of Father Junipero Serra, a Spanish Franciscan friar who founded several missions in California in the late 18th century. The play is divided into four acts, each of which focuses on a different period in Serra's life. Act one depicts Serra's arrival in Mexico and his journey to California, where he establishes the first mission. Act two shows Serra's efforts to convert the Native American population to Christianity and his struggles with the Spanish government. In act three, Serra faces opposition from the local settlers and the Native Americans, who resent the mission's presence. The final act portrays Serra's death and his legacy as a pioneer of California. The play is a historical drama that aims to educate and entertain readers about the life of Father Junipero Serra and the history of California during the Spanish colonial period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
