Review of Fr. Zephyrin Engelhardt’s ‘Santa Barbara, the Queen of the Missions’

1 p.; clipping

A clipping titled ‘Book Reviews’ that highlights the work of Franciscan historian Father Zephyrin Engelhardt OFM. It specifically reviews the fourth volume of his extensive historical series on local California history, a 470-page book titled ‘Santa Barbara, the Queen of the Missions’. The text praises Father Engelhardt’s rigorous accuracy, masterly analysis, and ‘true critical spirit’, noting that his work effectively corrects historical misinformation regarding the secularization and confiscation of the missions. The article is taken from ‘The Tidings’ (24 August 1923).
