By Gregorio Mora-Torres
Both the Amador and Asisara narratives have been used as resources in Bancroft’s writing yet by no means released themselves. Gregorio Mora-Torres has now rescued them from obscurity and provides their voices in English translation (with annotations) and within the unique Spanish on dealing with pages. This bilingual version might be of serious curiosity to historians of the West, California, and Mexican American studies.
