N2  - "This book is by far the most comprehensive and scholarly work on Davao history. For the first time, the view into Davao's past is pushed back further than 1848 when it was conquered by the Basque adventurer Jose Oyanguren. This book presents new information and new insights: it has the most substansive discussion of the tribes of Davao in any single volume, including a theory of their migration; an in-depth discussion of Datu Bago and other Davao heroes; sample studies of the different settlers at different periods of Davao history; and the widest collection of myths and legends representing almost all the tribes of Davao, most of which are published for the first time. Writing in fluid language and adhering to rigorous scholarship, Macario Tiu reconstructs the history of Davao from various texts and oral traditions. What comes out is a vibrant retelling of Davao's past."
