Where is it available David?

I posted the link, just click it.
It was on a Mexican Facebook page I get notices from.

That's awesome David! Thanks! We're going to visit our friends in Sierra de San Francisco next month. I'm going to print out a copy for them.

They are pretty nice illustrations, verdad?
I wish they had more.

Well, thank you... but that is not a link I posted, so good searching on your part. I used libraries when I was a kid... now, I use the Internet to get (and keep) books!

Only a fraction of maps and history books are on the internet. You really should visit libraries if you want to find out about stuff. Only a fraction of knowledge is posted on the web. Especially true of rural Mexico. If your research is limited to internet, and ignores the libraries full of non digital sources, your research is probably full of holes, maybe plain wrong :light:

So, you call books and letters in books written by Jesuit missionaries in the 1600s and 1700s "digital"??? The Internet for me is a place to BUY books that are not found in my local bookstores.

I know this is your snarky way to discredit me or my research but maybe if that is your intent you should get all the books published on the missions, and mine, to compare? I have published my Preface here on Nomad, explaining what my book's goal is. I also provide a full list of resources and encourage those seeking more details (than those I have in my book) to get those books.

Since you missed reading it before, or just forgot (plus the following two pages, so you are not too bored):

This reference list in my book are some (not all) of the Baja books I own and go to for details on Baja's past...
