Illustrations are black and white. Chisos in Spanish is said to mean "ghosts" or "spirits" or "enchantment" - as in witchcraft. So it's no surprise the Spanish called the moutons and the larger region by that name. But it's not just Big Bend National park that appears haunted. It was this areas of Texas that the author captured in his book of poems about the "big bend" areas of Texas. An area of Texas less traveled. A rare work.; Illustrations; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 84 pages.
