{"product_id":"vaquero-padre-9781432894702","title":"Vaquero Padre","description":"\u003cp\u003eEusebio Francisco Kino, missionary, mathematician, astronomer, navigator, cartographer, explorer, rancher, diplomat, instrument of God's work, and candidate for sainthood. Imagine a seventeenth-century man with these talents and abilities, born to a New World by near-death experience. You have the premise for an epic life journey of faith and discovery. It happened. In 1663 eighteen-year-old Eusebio Kino survives fatal illness he credits to the intercession of his patron, Saint Francis Xavier. He vows to follow his patron's missionary footsteps to China. Following ordination, Padre Kino's path to mission takes a sharp turn west, to New Spain. Over the next thirty years, Padre Kino extended the frontier of Christendom west, establishing mission rancheria from the \"island\" of California to Pimeria Alta in present-day Sonora Mexico and Southern Arizona. He introduced cattle ranching and cultivation of wheat to the southwest. In fulfilling his life purpose, Padre Kino enriched the lives of those he served while his explorations changed the face of a continent. Vaquero Padre is Eusebio Kino's story, as he might have told it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4529271\"\u003ePaul Colt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorndike Press a Part of Gale a Cengage Comp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781432894702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1432894706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC041000\"\u003eBiographical \u0026amp; Autofiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC014000\"\u003eHistorical | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thorndike Press a Part of Gale a Cengage Comp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44537177309421,"sku":"9781432894702","price":44.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_57fbf98f-4ad6-4b65-b1e9-475902b1838e.jpg?v=1754393641","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/vaquero-padre-9781432894702","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
