LA PURISIMA CONCEPCIÓN
La Purisima Concepción, at Lompoc, Santa
Barbara County, was founded December 8,
1787, and was the eleventh Mission estab-
lished. "Poor Purisima! Near the river Santa
Inés, clustered around by pretty hills, adver-
sity seemed to claim it for its own.
Almost
totally destroyed by the earthquake of 1812,
rebuilt, seized and again greatly damaged by
Indians in 1824, now in ruins, deserted and
alone, it silently awaits its inevitable end."
