Over a thousand years ago, the Coast Miwoks first inhabited what is now known as Marin and Sonoma Counties in California. Many of the Miwok settled at Olompali, the present site of Olompali State Historic Park. By 1400 A.D. Olompali had become the largest trading village in the area. Miwok culture was rich in tradition. In this book, Gardner looks at the arrival of the white man (more ghost than god to the Miwok) from both sides of the cultural divide and discovers the whereabouts of the true New England. Is New England on the East Coast? The answer will surprise you!
