Description
Otila, otherwise Jack Franco, was the principal source of information regarding the Maidu. Born at the important village Michopdo in the lowlands of Sacramento river about the year 1845, as a young boy he experienced the untainted native life before the influx of miners and settlers proved the undoing of the Indians. As a youth he rode the range for General John Bidwell, and his old age he has spent in company with a small group of his people on the Bidwell ranch at Chico.
