Junipero Serra is an easily readable condensation of the monumental opus produced by the eminent Franciscan historian, the late Reverend Maynard J. Geiger. His exhaustive study was completed only after eighteen years of travel, research and review of all available documents in the Americas and in Europe relating to Fr. Serra. This third edition of the life story of California's saint-elect has been brought up to date and is current with activities on Fr. Serra's behalf at the time of printing.
