Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 82 pp., index. In 1668, a small band of Jesuit priests established a mission in the Mariana Islands with the aim of converting their indigenous Chamorro inhabitants to the Catholic faith. What followed was thirty years of intermittent warfare as Chamorro communities throughout the archipelago fought unsuccessfully to retain their culture and traditions. This book documents the first half-decade of mission operations and provides details of some of the important events of a turbulent period of the archipelago's history, as well as several previously unrecorded aspects of traditional Chamorro culture. While modest in size, this volume should be of interest to students of Marianas history.
