The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area - Book
HEY011
Two hundred years ago, herds of elk and antelope dotted the hills of the San Francisco–Monterey Bay area. Grizzly bears lumbered down to the creeks to fish for silver salmon and steelhead trout.

One of the most ground-breaking and highly-acclaimed titles that Heyday has published,   The Ohlone Way   describes the culture of the Indian people who inhabited Bay Area prior to the...
