His story is one of human behavior amid the forces of great change in California and Spain from 1749 – 1793. The dramatic conflict and ill-fated rule of the Ohlone Indians by the Spanish missionaries and a displaced Spanish gypsy family that escapes to California during Spain’s Great Gypsy Roundup of 1749 are comprehensively explored.
