Traders and raiders : the indigenous world of the Colorado Basin, 1540-1859
The Colorado River region looms large in modern history, but has, in fact, played a pivotal role in the colonial designs of Euro-Americans since the first Spanish journey up the Colorado River in the sixteenth century. This book examines more than three centuries of indigenous life in the West, revealing how native peoples of present-day southern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico maintained their autonomy amidst the unprecedented political, economic, and cultural changes occurring throughout the region
