Strangers in a Stolen Land

The original edition of Strangers in a Stolen Land covered San Diego County Indian history from 1850 to 1880. This expanded edition takes a far more inclusive view of the narrative that is San Diego County Indian history. It begins with what is known of the first inhabitants, not at a point based on the start of European intrusion, and is updated to cover the half-century between 1880 and 1935¿a period dramatically different from the previous three decades. Richard Carrico, one of the foremost authorities on the prehistory and archaeology of San Diego County, offers a historically and culturally accurate description of the Kumeyaay (Ipai/Tipai), Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño Indians. Covering the Spanish, Mexican, and American periods, with details, maps, and illustrations not previously published, this book meets the requirements for college level courses in Indian or Ethnic studies. Richard L. Carrico is a professor of American Indian Studies at San Diego State University. With a B.S. in anthropology from SDSU and a Master's in history from the University of San Diego, Carrico is a specialist in California Indian history and the rich culture and ethno-history of southern California tribes. A popular speaker and lecturer, he is a frequent contributor to anthropological and historical journals.
