even jamestown was left out of many american history books because it was in the south. and at one point after the civil war, jamestown was written out of the narrative and the pilgrims took the place. so the narrative changed and it became freedom from religious persecution versus a group of brits coming in and founding a military settlement and that becoming a disaster. well, that has now been re-included in our history by their virtue of the work of archaeologists. by the same token, archaeologists and historians are rewriting the history of these mission sites, such that we now recognize them as those very traditions under the auspices of franciscan friars who introduced many of the technologies that today we take for granted, including agriculture, stock raising, viticulture or the wine industry, metallurgy, architecture, all these things came in and are a direct byproduct of the introductions made by father serra and his compatriots. so the reality is to leave out this dimension of history, leaves us with no escalation why these massive sites exist which were in ef
