San Francisco de Solano was the last of the 21 California missions to be built. Fray Altimira began construction on the mission on August 25, 1823. The Spanish were not the only European settlers to live in the area where San Francisco de Solano was built. The Russians built Fort Ross nearby with plans to colonize the area. As many other missions did, Solano began to decline in the 1830’s prompting many Indians to leave the missions in search of more stable circumstances. The content provided in this book, aligned to California state standards, will provide students with a greater insight into the story of California’s mission system, and this gorgeous mission. This book is filled with excellent primary source materials and visuals, including illustrations, paintings, and maps.
