The road between Tucson, Arizona, and Magdalena de Kino, Sonora,
runs straight and true. Slicing through miles of rolling desert and
faraway blue mountains, it could be just another fast way to get
from here to there. But if the traveler has a taste for adventure
and time to spare, this road can be a rich and unforgettable ride.
Equipped with camera, pen, and a lively curiosity, photographer
Maeve Hickey and writer Lawrence J. Taylor set out to capture
whatever might come their way on the road to Mexico. They roamed
and rambled, they stayed well off the beaten track, and they talked
to nearly everyone they met, from wisecracking waitresses to landed
gentry to street urchins dressed in rags. Their book brings to life
the calf ropers and casinos, the saints and sinners, the mariachis
and miracles in a no-man's-land that sometimes seems to belong
neither to the United States nor to Mexico. Following the footsteps
of earlier travelers-traders, warriors, missionaries, and
explorers-these modern pilgrims take a hands-on approach to their
journey. Throughout, both writer and photographer convey the sizzle
and spice of a land where Indian, Mexican, and Anglo worlds have
collided, coexisted, and melted into each other for centuries.
Their eye for the hidden telling detail carries the reader straight
into the action, and their zest for excitement spurs any traveler
to drop everything, grab a bag, and hit the road to Mexico.
