American missions does not include a locator inset map, so most readers will need to consult another map of that continent to place them in context. Even more surprising – in light of the wealth of information about missions in both continents – is the fact that all of the book’s twenty-four photographs of missions are of those in Mexico; none in from South America. Given the iconography mentioned above, photographs of the missions would have made the South American material shine even brighter. These criticisms should in no way detract from my praise. Although Jackson envisions this being his last book, I see it as a wonderful starting point that will inspire future researchers to conduct more comparative research on Latin America’s frontiers.

美国任务不包括定位器插图地图，因此大多数读者需要查阅该大陆的另一张地图才能将它们置于上下文中。更令人惊讶的是——鉴于关于在两大洲宣教的丰富信息——事实上，这本书的二十四张宣教照片都是在墨西哥拍摄的。没有来自南美洲。鉴于上述图像，任务的照片会使南美材料更加闪耀。这些批评不应该减损我的赞美。尽管杰克逊设想这是他的最后一本书，但我认为这是一个很好的起点，它将激励未来的研究人员对拉丁美洲的前沿进行更多的比较研究。
