Examples of Sources to Consult to Rewrite History Through Primary Source Documents

Event: Chumash Revolt of 1824

Link to summary of account from Maria Solares, Harrington's primary source, some 90 years after the events which it describes. "Maria did not personally participate in the 1824 revolt, but she had numerous opportunities as a girl to hear about it from those who did. Her story adds an unusual dimension to what little is presently known about the Chumash response to, and attitudes toward, missionization".
