Book Synopsis Black Sun of the Miwok by : Jack Burrows
Download or read book Black Sun of the Miwok written by Jack Burrows. This book was released on 2000. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These six vignettes recall Miwok Indians whom Jack Burrows knew as a boy in Murphys, California, during the 1920s and 1930s. The Miwok were hunter-gatherers in the Sierra Nevada foothills when the gold rush overwhelmed them in the mid-nineteenth century. By World War I decades of violence, disease, and poverty had reduced the Miwok to 670 souls scraping by on the social and economic fringes of Anglo society. In twenty more years, Miwok culture had nearly vanished.

Book Synopsis Native California Hero’s of the Miwok Confederation Teleguac, Estanislas and Yolosko by : Guy Nixon
Download or read book Native California Hero’s of the Miwok Confederation Teleguac, Estanislas and Yolosko written by Guy Nixon. This book was released on 2020-03-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teleguac aka Chief Jose Jesus was one of California’s na-tive freedom fighters. Living through an extremely turbulent period in time where everything was put into chaos by climatic disasters and invasions by other races to the very foundations upon which the tribes were based, he would not only survive but forged a future for his people. This unique leader was also chosen by an animal that protected him in numerous battles and who’s presence brought many tribes together in common cause creating what can best be described as the Miwok Confedera-tion. His life’s story inspired the fictional California Hero we call Zorro but the real story is even more fascinating than the fiction. The real history of California Natives is almost com-pletely unknown yet it shaped the history in so many ways that it merits being brought out for all to learn.

Book Synopsis Slavery in the West by : Guy Nixon
Download or read book Slavery in the West written by Guy Nixon. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the West from the Natives perspective and the world wide forces affecting them are rarely found in our history books. For the tribes in the West the history before the 1840's is poorly understood and when taken out of context seems to make no sense to the casual reader. In particular the history of the Natives in Northern California seems to be completely overlooked. These people had a turbulent history prior to the Gold Rush of 1849 and while run over in the flood of immigration their history continued . This fascinating part of our Nation's history and the context in which it occurred is the heart of this work.
