Under the Pinon Tree - Finding a Place in Pie Town (Paperback)

Raised in Catron County around Pie Town, Jerry D. Thompson is a well-known Southwestern and Civil War historian. Part regional history, part family history, and part childhood memories, Under the Pinon Tree traces the lives of Catron County residents and explores how the area has grown and changed since the Depression and World War II, when Thompson's family first homesteaded the area. Those interested in storytelling and history will enjoy this richly detailed account. Under the Pinon Tree is a must-read for anyone interested in New Mexico and the Southwest.
