Based on his one-year sojourn in a remote village among the Raramuri/Tarahumara in Mexico's renowned Copper Canyon, award-winning journalist Jeff Biggers offers a rare look into one of the most resilient indigenous cultures in the Americas, the exploits of Mexican mountaineers, and recounts the fascinating parade of argonauts and accidental travelers that has journeyed into the Sierra Madre over centuries. From African explorers, Bohemian friars, Confederate and Irish war deserters, French poets, Boer and Russian commandos, bewildered archaeologists, addled writers, and legendary characters including Antonin Artaud, B. Traven, Sergei Eisenstein, George Patton, Geronimo, and Pancho Villa, Biggers uncovers the remarkable treasures of the Sierra Madre."--BOOK JACKET.
