Colorful & witty anthology of Northern New Mexico family

What a wonderful little collection of true stores surrounding the Baca family during the early 1900's in Northern New Mexico! La Farge's writing of the beauty and awe of this special area of New Mexico and the unique members of this family causes the reader to lament the loss of such people and places. Thankfully, Northern New Mexico is still a unique and wonderful place. This book helps me remember that - even though I live so far away.
