Façade — San Xavier del Bac mission. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Side view of the façade of the mission church of San Xavier del Bac, near Tucson, Arizona: 'The Papago are a strong branch of the Piman family living in the narrow valleys of south-central Arizona as far north as Tucson, and the broad desert stretches of northern Sonora. They were among the first of the Indians of this section to come under the influence of the Spanish missionaries, and early proved their friendliness toward Christianity; that is, as with Indians generally, so far as its outward form is concerned. The Papago certainly proved tractable enough, under the efforts of the Franciscans, to build one of the most beautiful mission churches in the United States, and while all similar edifices of the region have fallen into decay, they have kept this wonderful old structure at San Xavier del Bac in a good state of preservation.' (Curtis, Edward S., 'The North American Indian,' volume 2, p.27)
