When Nasario García was a boy in Ojo del Padre, a village in the Rio Puerco Valley northwest of Albuquerque, he grew up the way rural New Mexicans had for generations. In this account of his boyhood García writes unforgettably about his family’s village life, telling story after story, all of them true, and fascinating to everyone interested in New Mexico history and culture.
