CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good book on a troubling question
Comment: The author Randall Milliken has done some excellent research to provide some answers to the question "Why did the San Francisco Bay Indians abandon their villages and join the missions?" Using the mission records along with historical diaries and reports, he documents the patterns of inter-marriage, languages, and histories of the tribes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thorough, interesting, and enjoyable
Comment: For anyone interested in Bay Area Indian history, this book is a must-read. It's the only book I've found on the subject that looks comprehensively at the various tribelets in the Bay Area at the time of contact through the middle of the Mission period - very satisfying in its completeness. The one drawback is that the author's argument is not used to analyze a lot of the evidence. Most of the book is simply presented as facts, with only a few passages of analysis at the end of the chapters that tell you what the author makes of all the evidence. Otherwise it is a great read. I wish there more books like this one!
