Book Overview

The Bride of Mission San Jose: A Tale of Early California is a historical fiction novel written by John Augustine Cull. Set in the early 19th century, the book tells the story of a young woman named Maria who is forced to leave her home in Mexico and travel to California to marry a wealthy rancher. Upon arriving in California, Maria finds herself living at Mission San Jose, where she is introduced to the customs and traditions of the Spanish missions. As she adapts to her new life, Maria becomes involved in a love triangle with two men: the handsome rancher she was forced to marry and a young Franciscan friar who has taken an interest in her. Along the way, Maria must navigate the complex social and political landscape of early California, including tensions between the Spanish colonizers and the indigenous people. The Bride of Mission San Jose is a compelling tale of love, loss, and cultural identity set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment 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.
