Synopsis "While the Wind Blew: Slices Of Luna County History As Told By Those That Might Have Lived Them"

Relive some exciting historical events in Luna County, New Mexico in Bob Rockwell's new book, While the Wind Blew. You'll sit around a pit house fire in 1154 AD with Hateya, a young Mimbres mother and mourn the drought and hunger in her village. You'll ride with Coronado's conquistadors as Miguel gives us a glimpse into the New Spain of 1541. You'll blaze a trail with Caleb and the Mormon Battalion, bounce along the Butterfield Overland Mail route with Molly, and you'll attack settlers with Cochise and his Chiricahua Apache warriors. Bob creates engaging characters who share with us slices of Luna County history as if they were actually there. How else could we feel the fear and the boredom of manning the guard tower at Fort Cummings in 1867, or agonizingly shoveling the sand and dust out the remains of old Camp Cody to build a new TB sanitarium, or what it was like to do back-breaking work in our fields as a humble Mexican Bracero. He reminds us that of our history is not heartwarming. Tim will give you the copilot's seat in his small plane as you smuggle a 1/2 ton of marijuana into the U. S. and Arthur will share with you the case he's building against the Mafia pension-fund racketeers running the largest company here in Luna County. And, you'll relive the exciting history of two of our most famous and interesting women. Lotte Deno boasts of her days as the gambling queen of the Wild West and Madam Mille gives us a view into what it was like to be a Harvey Girl and some insight into the career that made famous. Bob claims he is not an archaeologist, historian, or any other kind of social scientist. He's merely a storyteller interested in a good story. A storyteller with a gift for taking an event from the past, adding his fictional characters, and giving the reader a unique appreciation of the scene you're reliving.
