Rules and Precepts of the Jesuit Missions of Northwestern New Spain

Charles W. Polzer, S.J., has published widely on the life of Padre Eusebio Kino, the seventeenth-century Jesuit missionary in the Pimeria Alta, and was instrumental in the discovery of Kino's grave in 1966. Trained professionally in theology, history, anthropology, and philosophy, he employs a useful combination of disciplines to delve into Southwestern studies. Polzer, a founder and associate director of the Southwestern Mission Research Center, in 1972 was named ethnohistorian of the Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona.
