Preface
As soon as I was old enough to cadge rides to the Guadalupe Mountains from my boyhood home in Ysleta, Texas, I spent most of my spare time in that fascinating range. The 110-mile distance seemed like a long way from home to a fourteen-year-old youth in the 1950s.
Not only had I traveled far on my first visit to the Guadalupes, I also felt as though I had been transported back to a place and time of Apaches, outlaws, and prospectors. I had long heard stories about ghosts and spirits which many believed dwelt in this range, and on that first day in a deep quiet canyon, I felt their presence like a desert feels the rain.
Like many others, I was first introduced to the Guadalupe Mountains through the writings of the esteemed Texas folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie. Dobie, who wrote of lost treasures in this range, had a special empathy and feel for the region like no other. I can remember exploring the pages of Coronado's Children when I was in the fifth grade and growing steadily fascinated at the descriptions of this remote territory, of the fortunes found and lost among the rocks, canyons, and peaks of the Guadalupes. Dobie's tales of prospectors and treasure hunters stirred within my young breast a heretofore unknown fever and yearning for exploration, a latent and essential need for the search, for the quest. Utterly captivated, I read and reread Coronado's Children
