Joyce E. Means

A record of oral histories about the now-forgotten town of Pilares, N.M., U.S.A., mostly pertaining to the period when Pancho Villa and his revolutionaries attacked and burned- to-the-ground the town of Columbus, N.M.. Joyce Means was no storyteller, but she made up in reseach what she lacked in prose. It's a difficult book to read in one sitting, but it serves well as a sort of almanac and is best approached that way, in my opinion.
