To the Corner of the Province: The 1780 Ugarte-Rocha Sonoran Reconnaissance and Implications for Environmental & Cultural Change

that illustrate the determination of these women in unsettling situations. One of the main things that struck me as I was reading this was the lack of bitterness or anger at the situations these women faced. They were sometimes harrowing and often frustrating, yet, they are conveyed as issues that had to be dealt with and ultimately were. It is that degree of acceptance of the challenge to succeed despite the obstacles that stood in the way that represents one of the biggest impacts of this book. The resilience of these women is truly outstanding. I think that this book will be of significant interest to graduate students, Great Basin archaeologists, and other archaeologists who have experienced challenges in reaching their career goals These are important lessons for any reader. I also hope that everyone who reads it can learn about the impact of mentorship and the value that it has reaped.
