Indian Life of the Yosemite Region

This classic work on the Indians of the Yosemite area is based on extensive field work undertaken by the authors shortly after 1900. Because the information provided was learned directly from the Miwok people, the book is both authoritative and thorough. For anyone interested in the ways of the Yosemite Miwok, from tool-making to hairstyles, from trading patterns to tattooing, there is no better source. Illustrated with maps, drawings, and 76 black and white plates. Softbound, 388 pages.
