A history lover....

This book has all sorts of information I had not see before - for example the important African-American entrepreneur in old San Francisco, Leidersdorf, is buried at Mission Dolores in San Francisco. This book has very helpful background information for students for each mission. The model section has layouts for all of the missions and ideas for making a model which come from actual models created by a parent, using styrofoam.
