4. Here Castile sides with Michael D. Olien, “The Miskito Kings and the Line of Succession,” Journal of Anthropological Research 39 (Summer 1983): 198–241; and Olien, “E. G. Squier and the Miskito,” Ethnohistory 32, no. 2 (Spring 1989):111–33. Castile thus aligns himself in opposition to the view of Craig L. Dozier, Nicaragua's Mosquito Shore: The Years of British and American Presence (University, Ala.: University of Alabama Press, 1985).
