""The attractively bound History of the Mariana Islands takes us back to the beginning of the 18th century and the publication in 1700 of a book about the Mariana Islands by a French Jesuit, Charles Le Gobien, at a time when Christianization of far-flung locations was funded by the Spanish monarchy [...] Though written from the Jesuit perspective, and much given to the narration of the violence and uneasy relations that accompanied the evangelization of the Marianas, the book gives many details of the daily lives, beliefs and situation of the [CHamorus] on the various islands, particularly the bigger islands.""
