La rosa de California is a historical novel written by Jesús Maeso de la Torre. In this work, the author transports us to the territories of New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Montana, Mississippi, and California, during the three centuries in which they belonged to the Spanish Empire. The plot revives the raids of the dragoons after the Indians, the life in the missions, and the efforts of the Crown to maintain its influence in the southwest of the United States. In the year 1781, in the mission of San Gabriel, California, the prior father fray Daniel Cepeda, alarmed by the assaults of the Yuma Indians, requests the help of Governor Don Felipe de Neve. The Yuma warriors, led by the young Luna Solitaria, have become increasingly fearsome, attacking both the Comanches and the whites, especially the friars of the Hispanic missions and those who live in them.
