I’ve never understood how one mission with a handful of Spaniards could control all people over a hundred or more square mile area.
The ones with the guns impose the rules.

Yes, but given the numbers that was impossible to use pure force based on some priests with primitive guns.

I doubt it was the priests who were handling guns; more likely it was the Spanish soldiers.

There’s a movie about Junipero Serra that I remember being pretty good.
