The Cahuilla Indians

Review Harry C. James, who has written many useful books on the Southwest, has had a long time intimacy with the Cahuilla. His present book describes their successful fight for food against desert conditions. Then it goes on to later history under the Spanish and the Americans. For sheer brutality, there seems to have been little to choose between the two. Besides, its general interest, this book should be excellent reading as a supplement to geography and history. --Ruth Underhill
