John L. Kessell's The Missions of New Mexico Since 1776 picks up the New Mexico mission churches where Fray Francisco Atanasio Domínguez left them in his 1776 inspection and follows each one to the present. The jacket calls it a companion to The Missions of New Mexico, 1776, the Domínguez report edited by Eleanor B. Adams and Fray Angélico Chávez, tracing the histories and architectural changes of the thirty-two missions Domínguez described.
This copy is the 1980 first edition, published for the state's Cultural Properties Review Committee through a fund appropriated by the 31st New Mexico State Legislature. Its frontispiece is Heinrich Balduin Möllhausen's view of Santo Domingo in 1853.
