First published in 1936, Black Range Tales has become one of the classics of southwest Americana. In his inimitable style, "Uncle Jimmie" tells of prospecting, Indian fights, exploration, town life and all the characters from the early days of the Black Range, the Mogollons, and the rest of the Gila Country of southwest New Mexico. The result is alternately humorous, poignant, amazing or insightful; a singular look at the times. And most of all these tales are true, for by golly, James A. McKenna was there.

This review is from: Black Range Tales (Paperback)
These are wild and wolly tales of the mining rushes in southern New Mexico at the turn of the century. He tells of miners having to climb onto the roof of their cabins to get away from the grizzly bears. He relates vividly life in Hillsboro and surrounding areas: gold strikes, 4 day drunks, dance halls and ladies of the evening. Don't miss this one.

This review is from: Black Range Tales (Paperback)
I have been riding the some of the Black range, and this book is great in that it talks about the places I have been. Wonderfully easy to read and great insight to the early days of New Mexico history.
