El Camino Real Bundle

Known as “The King’s Highway” in honor of King Charles III of Spain, the El Camino Real connected the Spanish missions of California long before it became a state. Readers will learn about the man behind the missions, the history of building the missions, life at the missions, Native Americans and the missions, and more in these series of nonfiction articles. Voices offers readers a fictional excerpt from FAther Serra’s diary while on the ship heading for Mexico.
