Notes

Description
Collection of forty-two short stories and vignettes that together paint a portrait of the Mora Valley, the real-life northern New Mexico setting for a group of small nuevo mexicano villages. The author partially based his text on historical information and the oral tradition of tales about healers, ranch owners, archivists, soldiers, scribes, witches, warlocks, penitentes (lay religious men), priests and others.
Language
In English and Spanish.
