Tending the wild : Native American knowledge and the management of Californias natural resources

Anderson, Kat 1955- (author.).

Summary: John Muir was an early proponent of a view that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. This book aims to demonstrate that what Muir was really seeing were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, and sowing.
