There is a book out on Ghost Mountain in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
that focuses on the life of Marshall South and his family. They lived in the
high desert and went native during the 1930s. He built an ingenious stone house
with heating vents, made pottery, cooked agave just like native people, and
with his wife raised two children out there until some government agency evicted
him in the 1940s. Although I visited the site several times, to my knowledge
there has been no archaeology done.
