Kino: Pioneer to Arizona and Sonora

Kino's fame grows by each year. This compact, readable biography of the 17th century Jesuit missionary to northwestern New Spain reveals a man of extraordinary talent and dedication. From his training in mathematics and theology in Austria to his explorations and mission building in the Americas, Kino quietly shaped the course of history in the American Southwest. The book is filled with maps and photographs of the region and concludes with an ample yet succinct discussion of mission history and the influence Kino has had on artists and aculptors.
