A half-Indian, half-Spanish servant, Rosalia chronicles daily life on a ranch, the many festivals and religious holidays celebrated, as well as her search for the identities of her deceased parents. Rosalia is a compelling character, and her diary provides an interesting perspective on life in California in 1846. Back matter includes archival photos, a historical note, and a glossary of Spanish terms.
