Item Description
Juana Briones de Miranda lived an unusual life, which is wonderfully recounted in this highly accessible biography. She was one of the first residents of what is now San Francisco, then name Yerba Buena (Good Herb), reportedly after a medicinal tea she concocted. She was among the few women in California of her time to own propoerty in her own name, and she proved to be a skilled farmer, rancher, and bussinesswoman. In retelling her life story, Jeanne Farr McDonnell also retrells the history of nineteenth-century California from the unique perspective of this surprising woman.
