History of Copper Canyon and the Tarahumara Indians

An anthology on the Copper Canyon in Mexico and its inhabitants includes selections from the Norwegian naturalist Carl Lumholtz's late 19th century writings from the Sierra Madre del Norte in Northwestern Mexico, detailing the stories, rituals, songs, and sayings of the Indians, and the ruins and clay artifacts of the Shaft Tomb Cultures and Tarascan Empire. Also includes Grant Shepherd's 1938 book The Silver Magnet, a memoir of his family's life in Batopilas that includes detailed descriptions of the area's landscape, culture and antiquities.
