The old ones of New Mexico

"These old ones these wonderfully expressive storytellers these wonderfully and deeply introspective individuals (who are fulfilling their human destiny by contemplating things asking themselves about what truly matters and why) can be of assistance to those studying literature philosophy religion. Here after all are twentieth century Americans who knew in their bones how to embrace narratives their very own and who also knew how to describe the world and take its measure." From the New Introduction by Robert Coles. The book contains 40 photographs by Alex Harris
