Title: A hard review to write...
Review: This is hard because my grandmother wrote this book and it was one of the only things she did in her life that showed for her efforts.The book is sourced and well explained but after about 20 pages in you start to get a sense that she has a disdain or hatred of white men or people. I tried to see if the book goes around it after awhile but had to stop reading it.It may be factual but there is a lot of synthesis of white men and religion being the point of destruction for the Wappo in their way of life and as a people.I wanted to learn more about the Wappo and their life... not how abusive white men are in the name of the church... or the Spainiards etc.I had to throw the book away because it left such a bad vibe in me that I didn't want it in my house.I love my grandmother even though she has passed away but this book is not such a good idea in terms of transcending the spirit of a people. It only attempts to abash history to make a case for these people in time.Chris Beard
