The final Jesuit mission (#17) at Calamajué and Santa María
The latest Discover Baja Blog Post:
I hope you enjoy this chapter/ article on the 17th California mission and the last one founded by the Jesuits in California. I have included details
into one place that make understanding events clearer.
The last Jesuit mission was first founded as 'Nuestra Señora de Columna' at Calamajué, but moved 6 months later to the final site, renamed Santa
María.

Wonderful stuff. This is one of the very few sites I've visited and it's the topic of conversations all the time in camp because it is close by. It
clears up so many questions. Congratulations on the research, thoroughness, and presentation!! I think I need one of your books. I'll go over to
VivaBaja for the details.

Great...
You may enjoy seeing other missions along the way. I just posted several photos on our book's facebook page of the missions San Buenaventura, Santa
Barbara, La Purisima and Santa Ines: http://facebook.com/oldmissions
Here is the page in our book ('The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California, 1697-1834') on the Soledad mission... the 36th California mission:

Glad you enjoy seeing back in time... Baja is great for that.
Finding history takes time, research, and to make the most of it putting the details in one place. Modern books each have some of the history,
sometimes it is wrong but it inspires us to seek more. Calamajué is often mis-represented as a separate mission from Santa María or as a visita.
Ordering the book link is right here, in every one of my Nomad posts... with the other links in my signature. However, I welcome everyone to visit my
personal Baja adventure web pages at VivaBaja.com anytime.
Thank you!
Edit: In San Diego County, you can buy the book right off the shelf at Discover Baja Travel Club, and Mission San Luis Rey Gift Shop. In L.A. you can
pick up a copy at Mission San Gabriel and Mission San Fernando gift shops. In Santa Barbara, at the Presidio gift shop.
