The best-known work by the eccentric anthropologist Jaime de Angulo, Indians in Overalls is a fascinating account of his first linguistic field trip--in 1921--to the Achumawi tribe of northeastern California. The Pit River tribe had lived in the barren high country for thousands of years and, despite the harsh climate and difficult living conditions, they had developed an extraordinary complex language and a rich mythology.

His other works include Coyote Man and Old Doctor Loon , Coyote's Bones , and The Lariat: and Other Writings . Read Less
