Luiseno Indians are a southern branch of the Shoshoneans, and so named by native to the San Luis Rey Mission region. A German linguist with great fascination with the American West, particularly with John Wayne, happily takes on a job at Univ of California at Riverside to live his life long dream of total imersion in cowboyhood. There he dives into studying the Luiseno language still spoken by some locales. Mezmerized by a one-time Hollywood bit-part actress, Luiseno elder, and smitten by the elder's daughter, and crises arises when his would-be lady love considers a New York modeling job ... perhaps she never was the real person he thought she was? Author Andre Malecot is a philogist with the UC system.
