Most California histories begin with the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the late 18th century and conveniently skip to the Gold Rush of 1849. Noticeably absent from these stories are the perspectives and experiences of the people who lived on the land long before European settlers arrived. Historian William Bauer seeks to correct that oversight through an innovative approach that tells California history strictly through Native perspectives.

Great insight but misleading title
Revisado: 12-27-24
I believe the title is misleading to an irresponsible degree. It’s unreasonable to expect even most of the first people’s stories to be past down but only a tiny sliver from Owen’s Valley and Mendocino and through the eyes of the 1850s to 1930’s. The book talks solely about contact with Americans and completely ignores Spanish and Mexicans. Between 1500 and 1850 is when most of the Indians were killed and it’s completely ignored.
A more accurate title would be, “Mendocino County and Owen’s Valley Origin Stories”
I’m very disappointed 300 years of the Spanish were not mentioned.
