Reviews
Throughout American history, cowboying and ranching are often most associated with romantic images of the American West, perhaps best depicted in Western movies and songs. However, in American Indian Cowboys in Southern California , David G. Shanta challenges these narrow perceptions by offering the first comprehensive account of California Indian cowboys, their success in Southern California's cattle and ranching industry, and how they navigated local, state, and federal government. It is a fascinating story highlighting Native agency by situating American Indians at the center of California's cowboy and ranching history., Not since Terry G. Jordan's North American Cattle-Ranching Frontiers has any one book captured the enduring influence of Native Americans in the livestock industry in the American West. Shanta's singular focus on Native American vaqueros and cattle ranchers is a welcome contribution to the scholarship on the stock-raising industry in California from the mid-18th century to the mid-20th century., Throughout American history, cowboying and ranching are often most associated with romantic images of the American West, perhaps best depicted in Western movies and songs.

Synopsis
In 1769-1770, Spanish Catholic missionaries and soldiers traveled to Alta California, bringing along domesticated animals, like horses and cattle, for food security in the continual expansion of the Spanish empire. These rapidly increasing herds consumed traditional sources of Indigenous foods, medicines, tools, and weapons and soon outstripped ......, In 1769-1770, Spanish Catholic missionaries and soldiers traveled to Alta California, bringing along domesticated animals, like horses and cattle, for food security in the continual expansion of the Spanish empire. These rapidly increasing herds consumed traditional sources of Indigenous foods, medicines, tools, and weapons and soon outstripped the ability of soldiers and priests to control them. This reality forced the Spanish missionaries to train trusted American Indian converts in the art of cowboying and cattle ranching. American Indian Cowboys in Southern California, 1493-1941: Survival, Sovereignty, and Identity by David G. Shanta provides new insights into the cattle and horse industry on the Spanish Borderlands after early colonization. It also examines how the American Indian cowboys formed the backbone of Spanish mission economies, the international trade in cowhides and tallow that created the Mexican ranchero class known as Californios, and later on American cattle operations. Shanta discusses how California Native peoples adopted cowboying and cattle ranching, first as a survival strategy, but then also acquiring and running their own herds and forming a new, California American Indian economy based on cattle. Their new economy reinforced their demands for sovereignty over ancestral lands with exclusive rights to essential elements: pasturage and water. This book reflects on the innovative nature of American Indian Cowboys and brings to light how they survived, kept their cultures alive, and gained recognition of their sovereign status., In 1769-1770, Spanish Catholic missionaries, soldiers, and Cochimí Indians of Baja California launched The Sacred Expedition to Alta California, to claim it for God and King. Domesticated animals like horses and cattle provided food security in the continual expansion of the Spanish empire. The rapidly increasing herds consumed traditional sources of Indigenous foods, medicines, tools, and weapons and soon outstripped the ability of soldiers and priests to control them. This reality forced the Spanish to train trusted Indian converts in the art of cowboying and cattle ranching. In this book, David G. Shanta provides new insights into the impact of horses and cattle on the Indigenous peoples of the Spanish Borderlands after early colonization. American Indian cowboys formed the backbone of Spanish mission economies, the international trade in cowhides and tallow that created the Mexican ranchero class known as Californios, and later on American cattle operations. Shanta shows that California Native peoples first adopted cowboying and cattle ranching, as a survival strategy. They acquired and ran their own herds, forming a new, California Indian economy based on cattle. This new economy reinforced their demands for sovereignty over their ancestral lands. This book affirms the innovative nature of American Indian Cowboys and brings to light how they survived, gained recognition of their sovereign status, and incorporated cowboying and cattle ranching into family traditions and tribal identities.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
