This book chronicles the tumultuous human history of the Santa Cruz River valley in what is now southern Arizona. Jesuit missionaries arrived in the late seventeenth century to convert the O'odham people, but their efforts were continually frustrated by Apaches. Tumacacori National Historical Park is the home to one such historical mission, and this book explores both the mission and the surrounding river valley.
