Eternity Street
Violence is no stranger to the City of the Angels. Lethal force has been central to Los Angeles, founded as a tiny pueblo in 1781, throughout its first century. It seems odd that one of today's most glamorous cities had, in the 1850s, a murder rate fifty times higher than that of New York City and made the notorious Dodge City, Kansas, look tame. From Spain's first mission in Alta in 1769 to the U.S. annexation of California in 1846, coastal Cali…

The Many Faces of the Virgin

The Many Faces of the Virgin
Presidio, Mission, and Pueblo
The story of the frontier institutions of the Spanish borderlands has been told and retold. The presidio would protect the new lands of the Castilian crown against its enemies, be they French, English, or Apache. The mission would Christianize and Hispanicize the heathen Indians and make of them loyal subjects of His Catholic Majesty. The pueblo (town or village) would become home to the once free-ranging, now civilized, Indians. This familiar vi…
