I’ll start by going out on one of my habitual limbs to say I’d nominate this one for the Premio Aztlán Literary Prize. No, I don’t think it’s as passionately written as last year’s winner, Across a Hundred Mountains by Reyna Grande, but hell, she raised the bar so high, authors are going to be scrambling for some time to catch up with her.
To quote from Kermit Lopez’s website, Cibolero “is a tale of sorrow and terror, hope and triumph, set against the backdrop of 1800’s New Mexico. Antonio Baca, a former cibolero, or buffalo hunter, pursues his daughter’s kidnappers in Post-Civil War era New Mexico and Texas. Cibolero is a fictionalized account of the Hispanic experience before and after the conquest of the Southwest by the United States.” (Go to the publisher IUniverse website for a more extensive account.)”*
