During the middle decades of the nineteenth century, when vast
numbers of whites poured into California, the native Indian
population was decimated through disease, starvation, homicide, and
a declining birth rate. In this prize-winning book, Albert L.
Hurtado focuses on the Indians who survived this harrowing time.
Hurtado considers the ways in which native life and culture
persisted, how the survivors integrated their lives with white
society, and how the now-dominant whites related to the Indians
living and working with them. "Anyone interested in California
Indians should read this book."-William Bright, Los Angeles Times
Book Review "Hurtado takes a fresh look at the role Native
Americans played in shaping frontier California. The Indians emerge
from this study not merely as victims of white rapaciousness but as
an active historical influence, serving as both a resistance force
to white incursion and as prime shapers of the agricultural work
force."-Booklist "A wide-ranging and imaginative discussion of
significant issues that are at the very center of scholarship on
western settlement during the nineteenth century."-Roger Nichols,
University of Arizona Winner of the 1989 Ray Allen Billington Prize
awarded by the Organization of American Historians for the best
book in American frontier history.
