History And Preservation

The Chumash and the Presidio of Santa Barbara: Evolution of a Relationship, 1782-1823, by Marie Christine Duggan, Ph.D. Santa Barbara California, 2004: Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. Paperback; $10.00

In this essay about the relationships between Native peoples and the Presidio soldiers in Alta California, Dr. Duggan explains that Chumash Indians and soldiers in Santa Barbara turned out to be closely intertwined on a day-to-day basis in everything from outright military conflict to political negotiation, ongoing labor ties, and a shared passion for gambling.

The California Recollections of Angustias de la Guerra Ord (Occurrences in Hispanic California) as dictated by Angustias de la Guerra Ord to Thomas Savage in 1878. Bilingual Edition. Giorgio Perissinotto, Editor. Washington, 2004: Academy of American Franciscan History in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. Hardcover; $20.00

Angustias de la Guerra's Occurrences is one of the more valuable and
interesting eye-witness accounts of pre-Gold Rush California. Dr. Perissinotto's
approach of setting the original Spanish side-by-side with the English translation
of an earlier edition allows the reader to make up his or her mind as to the
accuracy of the rendering in English of the original Spanish text. Occurrences
vividly brings to life the early history of Santa Barbara and California
