(Sherburne Friend) Cook, Sherburne F. 60063452 Colonial Expeditions to the Interior of California Central Valley, 1800-1820 Anthropological Records, Vol. 16, No. 6 E-text prepared by Colin Bell, René Anderson Benitz, Joseph Cooper, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Colonial Expeditions to the Interior of California Central Valley, 1800-1820" by S. F. Cook is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work focuses on a series of colonial expeditions conducted in California's Central Valley during the early 19th century and explores the interactions between Spanish-Mexican settlers and the indigenous populations. The book draws extensively from primary documents such as diaries and official reports, aiming to shed light on the often overlooked encounters in the natural environments of native peoples. The opening of this work provides an in-depth introduction to the context of the expeditions, highlighting the significant body of knowledge already established about California's indigenous cultures, particularly through archaeological and ethnographic studies. It notes that while prior research has extensively documented the mission experience, the interactions of colonial expeditions in the natural habitats of Native Californians remain less explored. The text underscores the importance of these primary documents to understanding the realities of indigenous life during this tumultuous period, including their resistance to colonial encroachment and the lasting impact of these expeditions on their communities.
