First sentence: In words reminiscent of sixteenth-century chronicles Bernal Diaz del Castillo and Bartolome de las Casas, the father president of the California missions, Junipero Serra, described the depredations of the soldiers against Indian women in his reports and letters to Viceroy Antonio Maria Bucareli and the father guardian of the College of San Fernando, Rafael Verger.
