The Indians of California - J Ross Browne - Bog

The Indians of California is a historical and anthropological study of the indigenous peoples of California, written by J. Ross Browne. Published in 1864, the book provides a detailed account of the various tribes that inhabited California prior to the arrival of Europeans. Browne describes the customs, beliefs, and daily life of these tribes, including their hunting and gathering practices, social organization, and religious ceremonies. He also discusses the impact of European colonization on these communities, including the devastating effects of disease, forced relocation, and cultural assimilation. The book is based on Browne's personal observations and interactions with California's native peoples, as well as on historical records and accounts from other explorers and settlers.
