A Story Also Grows Poems by Charlotte Muse, inspired by the words of Ascencion Solorsano, the last native speaker of the Mutsun tribe, who were forced by Spanish missionaries to build the Mission San Juan Bautista in California at the end of the 18th century. Before she died in 1930, Dona Ascencion devoted the last months of her life to telling the stories of her life and people to John Harrington, the Smithsonian’s leading ethnologist. 6-1/2 x 10 inches, 42 pages, printed from hand set Kennerley Oldstyle type on handmade paper. Illustrated by the printer. Other details to be determined. Expected publication - Fall 2009.
