1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this one, it contains serious errors and omissions, March 3, 2003

This review is from: Mission San Carlos Borromeo Del Rio Carmelo (The Missions of California) (Hardcover)

Unfortunately this work contains numerous errors. A few examples:

--The Indian tribe described for the mission was a minority group there--the tribe that made up the majority is not even mentioned;

--The local Indians did not hunt buffalo from horses, as depicted in a drawing; and

--The local Indians did not make clay bowls, as a caption indicates.

These are serious, fundamental omissions and errors. Accordingly, I cannot recommend this book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mission San Carlos Borromeo Del Rio Carmelo (The Missions of California) (Hardcover)

I am doing my mission report on the Carmel Mission and this really helped. The book tells you everything you need to know on the mission. In the back of the book there are a couple pages to show you how to make a model of the mission, there is even a page on inportant dates,a glossary,a pronunciation guide, a page on resources and an index!
