  • Golden Checkerboard (1965) is a biographical novel by Ed Ainsworth; its subject matter concerns the mid-20th century economic conditions of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians of Palm Springs, California and the history of the 99-year lease law which enabled them to commercially develop tribal owned lands. The book portrays Indio Superior Court Judge Hilton McCabe as a "Little White Father," recalling steps purportedly taken by him to secure legislation that would endow the tribe with investment opportunities and economic self-sufficiency. The title of the book refers to the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation's checkerboard pattern, granted originally to the Southern Pacific Railroad as an incentive to build rail lines through the region.
