Excerpt from The Hesperian, 1859, Vol. 2
Each Mission was supplied with five or six Spanish soldiers, and when one band of Indians became somewhat tame, they were sent out, under the command of the Spanish soldiers, to attack and drive in more Indians, who, in their turn, had to go through a course of instruction or civilization.
The soldiers wore coats made by pasting one deer-skin upon another, to the number of seven, which admirably served the pur pose of coats of mail, as no arrow could possibly penetrate them. As soon as one Mission was well filled, the Padres would take some of the most civilized Indians, and, selecting another station, start a new Mission. In this way the various Missions were established, beginning at Sonoma, and extending until every important point had its Mission.
