John O'Hagan is an amateur historian. Having grown up on the central California Coast he developed a life-long interest in the California missions and is a member of the California Missions Foundation. He has lectured extensively on the missions, done a variety of educational programs on them and has led tours of them for people from throughout the United States. He was a partner with the Saint Francis and the America's project at Arizona State University. That project provided a multi-disciplinary forum for students, scholars and researchers to examine the impact that Francis of Assisi and the Franciscans have had on the new world. John is also the author of "Lands Never Trodden: The Franciscans and the California Missions" (University of Nebraska Press), an exhaustive review of each of the twenty-one California missions. He lives in Boise, Idaho and travels frequently to California to keep current on the happenings at his beloved missions. See less
