In Arcadia A Legend of San Luis Rey NOTE San Luis Rey Name of one of the loveliest and most prosperous missions of the Spanish days of California. It was named for Louis the 9th, the French Cru sader. It is situated among the beautiful hills five miles back from Oceanside, 45 miles north of San Diego. It is one of the few missions that is now something more than ruins.
Life at San Luis Rey as at all the missions in the days of the friars was pious, self-sacrificing, and strenuous; devoted wholl...y to converting and training the Indians* Away from the missions, everybody seems to have lived only for a good time ease, idleness, enjoyment, excitement and amusement in a semi-barbaric way. That was life to them. In a sense it was half Arcadian, and will never be seen again.
Edwin Markham, the poet, in his California history asks: "Had there ever before been such an epoch as that since the light of the golden age faded from the hills and the valleys of the earth?" There is a land who has not heard of it?
