An American Genocide
In the 1970s scholars began to use the term genocide loosely to describe the murderous extermination campaigns and state policies directed at California's Indian peoples from the outbreak of the Mexican-American War in 1846 through the conclusion of the Modoc War in 1873. Notably, thirty years later Brendan C. Lindsay's Murder State left little doubt that “if genocide had existed as a term in the nineteenth century, Euro-Americans might have used…
From Ahogado to Zorrillo
In recent decades, the literature on virgin soil epidemics has dominated scholarly discussions of Indian population decline in colonial America. Illness and disease – and the high mortality and low fertility that accompanied them – go a long way towards explaining the dramatic decline of the Indian population in Alta California after Spanish colonization began in 1769. But, there are myriad other factors that contributed to Indian depopulation in…
Transforming an Eighteenth‐Century Archive into a Twenty‐First‐Century Database
The Early California Population Project is a database recently completed by research scholars at the Henry E. Huntington Library. The project is part of a wave of new databases that are opening up various regions of Early America for additional study; yet, unlike other databases, the Early California Population Project's records are overwhelmingly of Indians. The database offers new opportunities for historians and anthropologists interested in I…

Children of Coyote, Missionaries of Saint Francis
From precontact to the end of colonial order, recovering lost voices, and exploring issues both intimate and institutional, this sweeping examination of Spanish California illuminates Indian struggles against a confining colonial order and amidst harrowing depopulation.

Sources of Rebellion
This article reinterprets the 1785 Indian rebellion at Mission San Gabriel in Alta California by reexamining the testimony of the Indians accused of leading this uprising. For decades, scholarly and popular discussions of this event have focused on the role of Toypurina, an Indian woman implicated in the rebellion. This essay, however, clarifies the roles played by Toypurina,Nicolás José, and others in the rebellion and emphasizes the importance …
Hispanic Catholicism in Transitional California
Since its establishment nearly six decades ago, the Academy of American Francis-can History (AAFH) has published more than 40 volumes on the history of the Franciscans in the Americas. Among the most important of these publications are the writings and biographies of Junípero Serra and Fermín Francisco de Lasuén, the missionaries who brought Catholicism to colonial California. As the principal architects of the chain of Franciscan missions that e…

The Staff of Leadership
I N I769, Spain set out to defend the Pacific Coast against settlement by other European powers by developing a series of colonial outposts that eventually stretched from San Diego to San Francisco. In this region, known to Europeans as Alta California, Spain depended on religious missions more than military fortifications or civilian towns to solidify its control. During the second half of the eighteenth century, missions had declined in importa…
