Native California Hero’s of the Miwok Confederation Teleguac, Estanislas and Yolosko available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Teleguac aka Chief Jose Jesus was one of California’s na-tive freedom fighters. Living through an extremely turbulent period in time where everything was put into chaos by climatic disasters and invasions by other races to the very foundations upon which the tribes were based, he would not only survive but forged a future for his people. This unique leader was also chosen by an animal that protected him in numerous battles and who’s presence brought many tribes together in common cause creating what can best be described as the Miwok Confedera-tion. His life’s story inspired the fictional California Hero we call Zorro but the real story is even more fascinating than the fiction. The real history of California Natives is almost com-pletely unknown yet it shaped the history in so many ways that it merits being brought out for all to learn.

A River Divided The Story & Biography of ‘ Chief ’ Coppa Hembo available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Coppa Hembo was a fascinating historical figure. Born of a Maidu father and Washoe mother he would rise to become the primary Huuk (Chief ) for nearly 50 years over the Hill Nisenan band of the Southern Maidu, with authority over the Maidu and Washoe people living on the Divide between the forks of the Natoman (American) River. As a young man he had been attacked by a grizzly bear which he managed to kill, permanently disfigured by the mauling he was given the name Coppa Hembo (Grizzly Bear Killer). He would lead his people in battles against slave raiders but managed to keep his people out of both the First and Second Indian Wars of El Dorado County continuing to live in peace with the horde of invading miners. Coppa Hembo’s leadership included arranging for his people to be vaccinated against small pox in 1852. His reputation for wisdom and impartiality found him serving as both a judge and keeper of the peace for both Indians and non-Indians. A staunch proponent of education he arranged to help the local school system during conflicts arising from the American Civil War. He would guide his people into full integration into the American society thus saving them from being rounded up and herded onto reservations. His is not a story of tragedy but instead one of triumph for a true American Hero.
