Summary "Picturesque Pala" by George Wharton James is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the story of the Mission Chapel of San Antonio de Padua in Pala, California, and its connection to the larger context of California's Franciscan Missions, particularly Mission San Luis Rey. The work likely focuses on the intertwining lives of the mission, its founders, the Native Americans involved, and the historical significance of the site over time. The opening of the text sets the stage by providing a foreword that explains the establishment of the Franciscan Missions in California and highlights the unique historical background of the Pala Chapel. It mentions how the Pala Valley was a home for Native Americans, the efforts of the Franciscans to provide them with a church, and the subsequent destruction of parts of the original structures due to natural disasters. The narrative details the early initiatives by Father George D. Doyle to clear the chapel's ruins and raise funds to restore its iconic Campanile, reflecting the community's investment in both their cultural heritage and spiritual life. The initial chapters further explore the founding of Pala, its inhabitants, and the vibrant history of the Mission, all while hinting at the challenges and resilience of the local Native community.
