California, with its scores of native languages, contains a wealth of old-time stories ― a bedrock of the literature of North America. Jaime de Angulo's linguistic and ethnographic work, his writings, as well as the legends, that cloak the Old Coyote himself, vividly reflect the particulars of the Pacific Coast. In each retelling, through each storyteller, stories are continually revivified, and that is precisely what Andrew Schelling has done in "Tracks Along the Left Coast", weaving together the story of de Angulo's life with the story of the land and the people, languages and cultures, with whom it is so closely tied.
