"The Aboriginal Population of the San Joaquin Valley, California" by S. F. Cook is a non-fiction exploration of the indigenous people who lived in California's San Joaquin Valley. This study looks at how the number of people changed from when the first Europeans arrived to about 1850. It is for people who want to learn about the impact of European settlers on the native tribes of California. The book starts by explaining the area and why it's important to look at the north and south parts separately. Cook tells us it's hard to know exactly how many people lived there because the old records aren't very good. He stresses that it's vital to utilize the accounts from Spanish and Mexican colonists to understand the story of tribes such as the Yokuts, Miwok, and Mono, which faced serious problems even before the Gold Rush.
