Mission Tales in the Days of the Dons is a book written by Mrs. Forbes that tells the story of California during the time of the Spanish missions. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the lives of the Dons, the wealthy landowners who controlled much of California during this period. The stories are set against the backdrop of the missions, which were established by the Spanish to convert the Native Americans to Christianity. The book provides a unique perspective on California's history, highlighting the cultural clashes that occurred between the Spanish colonizers and the Native Americans. Through the stories, readers get a sense of the daily life of the Dons, as well as the struggles and hardships faced by the Native Americans who were forced to work in the missions. Overall, Mission Tales in the Days of the Dons is an engaging and informative book that sheds light on an important period in California's history.
