The Ohlone Way скачать fb2

Two hundred years ago, herds of elk and antelope dotted the hills of the San Francisco&ndash;Monterey Bay area. Grizzly bears lumbered down to the creeks to fish for silver salmon and steelhead trout. From vast marshlands geese, ducks, and other birds rose in thick clouds &ldquo;with a sound like that of a hurricane.&rdquo; This land of &ldquo;inexpressible fertility,&rdquo; as one early explorer described it, supported one of the densest Indian populations in all of North America.<p>One of the most ground-breaking and highly-acclaimed titles that Heyday has published, <i>The Ohlone Way</i> describes the culture of the Indian people who inhabited Bay Area prior to the arrival of Europeans. Recently included in the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>&apos;s Top 100 Western Non-Fiction list, <i>The Ohlone Way</i> has been described by critic Pat Holt as a &ldquo;mini-classic.&rdquo;
