Preserving Missions in the Pimeria Alta (ASW 23-2)

Free PDF Download

Volume 23-2 (Spring 2009)

This issue discusses the preservation history of missions in the Pimería Alta, an area of modern-day northern Sonora and southern Arizona that stretches from the Río Magdalena northward to the Gila River, and from the Río San Miguel and San Pedro River westward to the Gulf of California and the Colorado River. The editors note that this history begins with the arrival of Father Eusebio Francisco Kino and the Jesuit mission program in 1687, and continues through recent work at Caborca and ongoing concerns at Tubutama. Issue authors present a wide range of topics, including mission-specific articles, mission music, mission-related legends, an important tour program, building materials and adobe, heritage fruit trees, and cattle and horse breeds that can be traced to Kino’s time.

The mission complex at Caborca, Sonora, is a focal point of the community, but its stark white enclosure of columns and arches also sets it apart. Beyond it lies a natural domain of river, desert, and mountains. The adjacent river nearly destroyed the church in a major flood event, but community members organized to restore it and to celebrate their unique history (see pages 12-13). Image credit: Henry D. Wallace.
