Mission Quote: (click here for a new one)
"The condition of these Indians is miserable indeed; and it is not to be wondered at that many attempt to escape from the severity of the religious discipline at the Mission. They are pursued, and generally taken, when they are flogged, and an iron clog is fastened to their legs, serving as additional punishment, and a warning to others." -- Life In California page 18.
