Book Description
The name "Chimayó" is derived from the Tewa Indian term Tsi Mayoh and was given to a sacred place of the Pueblo Indians located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between Santa Fe and Taos. Many of the Spanish colonists who settled in Chimayó after peaceful reentry to New Mexico in 1692 were descendants of those who left Castile and Extremadura. Nurtured by their faith and strengthened by the traditions and skills they brought from Spain, settlers converted a harsh environment into a fertile, green valley that provided them a livelihood for several generations. In 1810, Don Bernardo Abeyta, a prominent citizen of Chimayó, discovered a crucifix buried near a sacred well of healing earth, where he built a church. This is the site of present-day Santuario de Chimayó, also known as the "Lourdes of America." Over the centuries, the descendants of Chimayó colonists developed a unique weaving tradition that is also known throughout the world. Present-day Chimayó offers a unique glimpse into a culture that has endured for centuries.

Book Description
Alice Bullock says, "We can't go back." Thomas Wolfe said it and has been quoted ever since. Yet it bears repetition, especially today and in reference to Alice Bullock's Mountain Villages of New Mexico. Times change and as Bullock laments in this book of memoirs, commentaries and anecdotes, it is too late to do much about it except what she herself has done: write it down. We can't go back...we can only, hopefully, remember. And that is what this book does for all of us who have either lived in a mountain village or dreamed of living in one. This collection of tales of Cimarron, Lamy, Galisteo, Wagon Mound, Watrous, Rayado and other northern New Mexico towns and locales makes a perfect companion to her book "Living Legends of the Santa Fe Country," also from Sunstone Press. Alice is also the author of "Loretto and the Miraculous Staircase" and "Monumental Ghosts," both from Sunstone Press. Includes Teacher's Manual.
