While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Buena Vista (Span.: pleasant view ). A descriptive name
applied to one or more
Shoshonean or
Mariposan tribes living on Buena Vista lake, in the lower Kern r. drainage,
California. By treaty of June 10, 1851 , these tribes reserved a tract between
Tejon pass and Kern r. and ceded the remainder of their land to the United
States. See Barbour (1852) in Sen. Ex. Doc. 4, 32d Cong., spec, sess., 256,
1853.
