Shrohobit and Sand-Painting Burial of the Feathers held at Rincon, near Pala in San Diego, California. The manuscript may
have been written or edited by Josephine Cook, as an unfinished manuscript was donated with Cook's collection, and the manuscript
here mentions many of the people Cook photographed.
