Sonora
"This informal account explores the people, culture, land, and history of Sonora, Mexico. The author describes blistering deserts, alpine mountains, tropical river valleys, and arid coastlines and relates the lives and stories of cattlemen, lumbermen, fishermen, weavers, cobblers, musicians, bootleggers, and Indians. His curiosity extends to the weaving of Nacori hats, the distillation of fiery bacanora, and the utility of teguas, the Sonoran cowboy boot. Sonora is also a record of painful twentieth-century change - of human dislocation from rural villages to industrial cities and the relentless destruction of Sonoran forests, jungles, deserts, and rivers. A regular visitor for thirty years, the author provides a colorful portrait of the Sonora of the past, present, and future."--BOOK JACKET.
