First line

The women of Isanthcag-na ran to the brush, and the men hastened to put out their fires in their round huts, when the people first sighted the strangers.

From the rear cover

'Thrown Among Strangers represents a notable attempt to reassess the forces that shaped California's society and culture during the region's formative years of growth and development spanning the period from initial Spanish colonization through the nineteenth century.' -Gloria E. Miranda, Pacific Historical Review
