The narrative delves into the life of Jaime de Angulo, a multifaceted figure who embodies the spirit of the Old Coyote of Big Sur. It highlights his contributions as a linguist, doctor, and ethnographer while illuminating the rich yet persecuted Native Californian cultures. His works reflect a bohemian ethos and draw upon coyote tales and shamanic mysticism, earning him accolades from literary giants like Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams.
