A historian passes away


A man, a historian, and renowned anthropologist whom I was honored to know passes away. His works on local Arizona indigenous people and the Arizona missions is renowned.

Sad for his family and friends, and sad for the community to lose him.

As I know some people around here are interested in the Tarahumara people of Mexico, one of his books that was written in 1979 is still available and worth the price.

For some reason I cannot get the link to work this morning. It keeps coming back to this page?? I am sure it is me, but I give.

The title of the book is, Tarahumara; Where Night is the Day of the Moon. It is a scholarly book, but written in a very readable style with a real respect for the people.


I had this book many, many years ago and lost it in some move at sometime. I may need another copy.

Sorry for your loss and a loss for Arizona history fans. Wonderful he was able to share his years of love for the Desert Southwest of America with others.

Were there any Baja California research work or writings any of us can read of his?

Oh, I don't know. Look through his list of accomplishments. Certainly Padre Kino's forays into the desert southwest are related. Read some of his works. You might learn something.
