Robert, I checked with alibris, and they have your New View, Indian Population, and Indians, Franciscans, etc. so I ordered all three to be sent to my
daughter in Santa Maria, CA. We'll be stopping by there next month. It'll be a pleasure to read the views of someone who doesn't have a religious axe
to grind.

I hope you enjoy reading them. My book from Savages to Subjects is a synthetic history of missions from California to Texas as well. I do have to warn
you, though, that some people have almost considered me to be the antichrist, because of my interpretation of the history of the missions. On the
other hand, a Franciscan wrote a review of Indian Population Decline, and said that the facts don't lie and that other Franciscans, etc. should learn
from the lesson of what happened to the Indians in the missions. The people promoting Serra's canonization don't particularly like my scholarship, for
some reason. The book on the California missions has done very well for an academic book in terms of sales. If we cross paths, I will be happy to sign
them. Some of my more recent scholarship that has not been published yet can be found at this web site, including what hopefully will be a book soon
on the Chumash under Spanish rule, which would include the territory where Santa Maria is now: http://www.timsbaja.com/rjackson.html.

Robert, sounds really good! And if your paragraphs seem too long to me, this time around I won't mention it.
Jack, I'll do that. (Small world!)
I'd put this stuff on U2U if I could ever get the blasted thing to work!

Lera
Lera, you have a good point. I try to take everything I hear from everyone with a grain of salt. On the other hand, the locals, in spite of their
tendency to exaggerate, seem to know a lot more than the foreigners. Let's give those scientific expeditions guides some credit too. That's where the
knowledge generally originates here as you know.
As far as you literary efforts are concerned, you sure pick some strange topics hahahahahaha.
I will get in touch with you when I'm back in La Paz for an adventure trip.
