•  San Geronimo & Santa Ana, New Mexico, Missions--CLICK photo for NEXT...

SAN GERONIMO MISSION in 1920 was in ruins. Erected in 1600, this church was battered by artillery on February 3, 1847. This is the shrine of Indian heroism and martrydom, where 150 were killed and great numbers wounded. Taos Mountains, New Mexico, are background.

SANTA ANA MISSION at the Santo Domingo, New Mexico, Pueblo in southwest United States was first erected in 1700 but destroyed by flood in 1885. This building (built in the 1920's) is typical of early New Mexico missions.
