Mission:The Birth of California, the Death of a Nation, 2 Feb 2003
By Canda Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mission: The Birth of California, the Death of a Nationia (Paperback)
I was delighted to come across this incredible book by Margaret Wyman. Having taught fourth grade in California for ten years, I thought I had a good understanding of the relationship between the native Americans and the Spanish. This indredible story of a Kumeyaay Indian woman, took me to new heights of understanding, and stirred emotions in me from compassion and sadness for the natives, to rage and disgust of the Spanish. The author does an exceptional job of bringing her characters to life. I literally could not put the book down as I raced to learn the fate of these intriguing characters. Margaret Wyman writes with passion and ingenuity. I highly recommend this fine book.

The TRUE Story!, 27 Nov 2002
By Brett Weiss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mission: The Birth of California, the Death of a Nationia (Paperback)
Besides telling the dirty truth, this book will keep you reading and biting your nails until the very end. (In fact, you will be asking "What's Next?") The book is that good!Just remember that beyond the kind, decent, misguided and sometimes sordid characters, the story is historically accurate, even when the truth is frightening and shameful.

The Mission: The Birth of California, the Death of a Nation, 23 Oct 2002
By Betty Holbrook - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mission: The Birth of California, the Death of a Nationia (Paperback)
Margaret Wyman has written a compelling story about early California and its invasion by Spain and the Catholic church. Surprising twists and turns are followed through the intertwining of the lives of the natives, the Spanish soldiers, the Mexicans, and the "black robes". Good and Evil, sanity and madness, religious fervor and native beliefs are all portrayed in this novel.I hope that her future titles will be as readable.
