    Content: Basque Americans are an ethnic minority present in every state of the United States and concentrated in California, Idaho, and Nevada. Basques are particularly noted for an identification with sheep herding and are therefore present to some degree in the open-range livestock districts of all thirteen states of the American West. This file consists of nine English language documents, covering a time span from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1990s. Of these, four have been written by William A. Douglass one of the foremost scholars on the Basques. His works provide an excellent background for a study of the Basques of North America, containing information on cultural history, general ethnography, immigration patterns, settlements, and the manner in which Basque ethnicity has been maintained. Nearly all documents in this file contain information on sheep herding, as well as on cultural assimilation, cultural associations, recreational activities, and other forms of economic pursuits (other than sheep herding). In addition to the above, Araujo also provides some interesting data on the effects of hydatid disease (Echinococcosis species) on human and animal populations in California. The significance of the Basque hotel is frequently mentioned in many of the works in this file. A study of the hotel in all its manifestations, is specifically detailed in Echeverria
