"Soon after founding San Carlos Borromeo, Father Serra moved
the mission south to the Carmel River.
This spot was closer to the Rumsien village of Ashista.
Father Serra wrote guidelines explaining what methods the
missionaries should use to convince Native Americans to join the missions.
Through letters, he recruited Franciscans from Spain."

Monterey Bay Area by Emily Abbink, 1996.
