A Mission Record of the California Indians: From a Manuscript in the Bancroft Library is a historical account of the indigenous people of California during the Spanish colonial period. The book is based on a manuscript written by an unknown author in the late 18th century, which was discovered in the Bancroft Library. The author was likely a Franciscan missionary who lived among the California Indians and documented their customs, beliefs, and daily life. The book is edited and annotated by Alfred Louis Kroeber, a renowned anthropologist who specialized in Native American cultures. Kroeber provides context and analysis for the manuscript, helping readers understand the significance of the information it contains. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the social organization of California Indian tribes, their religious practices, and their interactions with the Spanish colonizers. Overall, A Mission Record of the California Indians is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of California's indigenous peoples. It provides a rare glimpse into the lives of these communities during a pivotal moment in their history, and sheds light on their resilience and perseverance in the face of colonialism.In University Of California Publications In American Archeology And Ethnology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
