It is disproportionally and simultaneously wonderful and terrible. It is a place of constant struggle  where the forces of good and evil collide. The former frontier mining town  bordering the Navajo Nation at the far western edge of New Mexico  is one of those few places on earth that have the power to change the course of our lives and transform us deeply.  With its rugged  violent history and otherworldly landscape  Gallup has ignited the imaginations of famous Americans from John Wayne to Bob Dylan. Tony Hillermans novels put Navajo culture and Gallup on the map. For the Navajo people for whom the region has been home for millennia  the town and its alcohol-fueled economy has a more sinister pull.  As an outsider who became an insider  Bob Rosebrough shares the historical realities of this enigmatic town  and gives readers a rare and true insight into Gallups iconic stories and long-hidden secrets.  This book isnt just for Gallupians. It is a memoir about regular people going up against Goliath issues  and its for anyone interested in spiritual conflict; Navajo people  history  and culture; political maneuvering; true crime; alcohol abuse awareness; taking on city hall; working with city hall; and rooting for the underdogs in a dog-eat-dog world. And it is the long overdue story of the death of a Navajo warrior named Larry Wayne Casuse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495983603765,"sku":"ByrdShop_1940322529","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781940322520.jpg?v=1780905474","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-place-of-thin-veil-life-and-death-in-gallup-new-mexico-9781940322520","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
