While the Battle of San Pasqual is often remembered as the war’s bloodiest encounter, the Temecula Massacre claimed four times as many Native lives—and yet remained absent from the historical record for generations. Through rigorous fieldwork, archival research, and Native oral testimony, DuBois and Woodward restore the full story to its rightful place in history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside this groundbreaking book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirsthand Tribal testimonies and Native accounts never before published\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA detailed timeline of the 1846–1847 events surrounding the massacre\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaps and aerial imagery tracing the battle sites and troop movements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA glossary of \u003cem\u003e‘Atáaxum\u003c\/em\u003e (Luiseño) words with phonetic pronunciation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eA QR code linking to the accompanying documentary film — \u003cem\u003eThe Temecula Massacre\u003c\/em\u003e, now available to watch on YouTube\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eToday, the Temecula Indian Cemetery remains one of the last living witnesses to this tragic event—a sacred place that connects the present-day Pechanga community to its ancestors.
