Summary "Tumacacori National Monument, Arizona" by United States. National Park Service is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. This book serves as a detailed guide to the Tumacacori National Monument, highlighting its significance as a site of early Spanish missionary activities in the region. The text provides an overview of the cultural and historical context surrounding the mission and its role in shaping the area’s development. The book outlines the history of the San Jose de Tumacacori mission, initially established by Jesuit Father Eusebio Francisco Kino in the late 17th century. It details the establishment, abandonment, and subsequent preservation of the mission buildings, illustrating the struggles faced by missionaries and Indigenous peoples amid changing political landscapes, including the expulsion of Jesuits in 1767 and Mexican independence in 1821. The text also describes the physical layout of the mission complex, including the church and cemetery, as well as modern visitor information about accessing the monument and understanding its historical significance within the context of early American history.
