Críticas: "From the rich heritage of northern New Mexico comes this tale of a gold mine lost off and on over the centuries. Told in Spanish by one of the mine's indomitable, present-day seekers, and offered in a bilingual edition, the intricate story delights in itself. Yet thoroughly annotated and analyzed by its editors, the legend also becomes a treasure of insights into the tale's cultural context."--Booklist "A true feast for linguist, folklorist, ethnohistorian, and treasure hunter alike."--New Mexico Historical Review "The work is well researched, informative, well written and nicely presented, and both the documented performance and its scholarly analysis are readable and interesting."--Folklore Society Library "This illustrated edition is a welcome contribution to legend study and to the folklore and ethnography of Hispanic northern New Mexico."--Journal of Linguistic Anthropology
