Once upon a time in the Mora Valley of northern New Mexico there
lived a farmer named Ponciano Gutierrez. On a trip through the
mountains he was taken captive by Vicente Silva and his gang of
bank robbers. This tale of Ponciano's quick-witted escape has been
a bedtime story for generations in the Paiz family.
New Mexico authors at the turn of the last century published
many accounts of the crimes of Vicente Silva. This book is the
first to present a Silva legend that has been kept alive by
families in Mora since the 1890s. The Paiz family version is
presented in English with a Spanish translation by A. Gabriel
Melendez.
