GOLD SEEKERS
Legend of the Black Rose by M Avery
AVAILABLE FOR at Maria's Bookshop $18.00
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN DURANGO
The Last Highland Don (Papa) retrieved Tal Munda reserve gold to relieve Rosa, NM flood victims (1964). The ingots were exchanged for legal tender 8X the market price. Final smelting (1992) provided seed money for the Onate Statue at Alcalde, NM.
Onate was cleansed from blood-letting offense against Pueblos in 1603 through Zuni Corn Ceremony. He appointed the Hermano Penitente Missionary Soldado to protect Pueblos from Spain's impending gold rush. The Penitente sealed 85% of the San Juan Mountain gold veins between 1846-1990.
