Francis Drake and the California Indians, 1579

Note 38 — CONTENTS

Reading edition

As Barrett (Ethno-Geography, map at end), Kroeber (Handbook, pp. 272-275), and C. H. Merriam ("Distribution and Classification of the Mewan Stock in California," American Anthropologist, IX [1907], 338-357), show, the Coast Miwok inhabited both Bodega Bay and Drake's Bay territory. Thus the language (except for minor dialectic differentiation) and culture are undoubtedly very similar at both bays. This makes the problem of exclusive selection somewhat difficult. The Madox vocabulary (see below, p. 282) was first presented in E. G. R. Taylor, "Francis Drake and the Pacific: Two Fragments," Pacific Historical Review, I (1932), 360-369.
