The discussion also covers crime and punishment within the Presidio, the legal rights of Native Americans, and the broader implications of these historical narratives for contemporary readers.Purchase Richard's book: El Presidio de San Diego: Excavating Southern California's Lost City00:00 Introduction to Richard Carrico and His Work01:08 Excavation Discoveries and Archaeological Insights07:33 Culinary Traditions at the Presidio09:28 Authentic Culinary Traditions12:09 Leisure and Games in Historical Context15:43 The Evolution of Old Town21:00 Crime and Punishment at the Presidio32:53 Understanding the Reader's PerspectiveSend a Comment.Support the showGive a one-time donationLearn more about the California Frontier Project:WebsiteYouTubeInstagramFacebookContact:[email protected]
