However, in American Indian Cowboys in Southern California, David G. Shanta challenges these narrow perceptions by offering the first comprehensive account of California Indian cowboys, their success in Southern California's cattle and ranching industry, and how they navigated local, state, and federal government. It is a fascinating story highlighting Native agency by situating American Indians at the center of California's cowboy and ranching history. -- Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, University of Arizona Not since Terry G. Jordan’s North American Cattle-Ranching Frontiers has any one book captured the enduring influence of Native Americans in the livestock industry in the American West. Shanta’s singular focus on Native American vaqueros and cattle ranchers is a welcome contribution to the scholarship on the stock-raising industry in California from the mid-18th century to the mid-20th century. -- Steven W.
