Download or read book First Families written by L. Frank and published by Heyday. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When L. Frank and Marina Drummer went on the road in 2002, they set out to visit as many people from different California tribes as possible. Crisscrossing the state, they taped hundreds of hours of interviews and collected copies of nearly fifteen hundred family photos. The documentary project, funded by the California State Library and LEF Foundation, paints an unprecedented portrait of California's indigenous people using their own words and photographs from their own family albums. In turns moody, beautiful, warm, and humorous, First Families is a one-of-a-kind book that combines extremely personal images with text that gives readers a broader, deeper view of Indian history and many complex living cultures.
Download or read book The Saga of the Seven Sisters written by Gilbert Gray Patchett and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many families have little knowledge of their historical lineage, but one illustrious Napa family has remarkably well-preserved records that provide a clear perspective of life in the pioneer days of California. Nathan Coombs, the Uncle of the Seven Sisters, was the founder of Napa City in 1847. His sister Minerva then moved her family to Napa from Iowa via the Isthmus of Panama. When Minerva died in 1873 her seven daughters left Napa for farm life in the north and south and to 1878 Japan. One sister married an established rancher , the son of the first commercial winemaker in Napa. This marriage failed suddenly with marriage to a younger sister. The shattered family overcame this difficult period, eventually involving 14 children. All 14 grew to strong and productive citizens, and, amazingly, five of these Patchett/Carpenter offspring lived to be over 100 years. One centenarian donated her body to Stanford University for research on longevity.The unique tales that were born from the journey, including the settlement of virgin land and the scattering of the family after the family's matriarch passes away, are rarely noted in history. Thanks to exquisitely meticulous record-keeping and stunning photographs, the book reads like an action-adventure without guns and violence. Deeply profound insights into a time so long ago enrich the value of the story. In the isolated forest area called Annapolis we get a close look at the real pioneer life living off of the land and raising their own food without electricity nor any modern conveniences, where laziness is not known. Village life in 19th century Annapolis, CA is featured for the family of one of the seven sisters, while three of the sisters went to Japan starting in 1878. Photos of a 1907 wedding in Japan are included in addition to historically unique stories in Japan. Dozens of portraits and family photographs bring life to the stories of these illustrious pioneer families.
