Official synopsis Publisher
A Southwest Classic is back in print. First published in 1936, Black Range Tales has become one of the classics of southwest Americana. In his inimitable style, “Uncle Jimmie” tells of prospecting, Indian fights, exploration, town life, and all the characters from the early days of the Black Range, the Mogollons, and the rest of the Gila Country of southwest New Mexico. The result is alternately humorous, poignant, amazing, or insightful; a singular look at the times. And most of all, these tales are true, for by golly, James A. McKenna was there.
