Mackenzie Maes Story is a real story of fallible human dreams turned to tragedy in this fictitious novel based on a true story. Many families, substantially the moms, have experienced the reality of a pregnancy, child birth, or the expectation of a healthy baby gone terribly awry. This book captured how it was lived from the initial knowledge, there were chromosome problems from the beginning, to the hope, writing and healing to the end. As a registered nurse, the author reflected on stories during a profession in the neonatal intensive care unit as she spent stretches of time at medical appointments with her supportive husband and their unborn daughter Mackenzie.
Between 1850 and 1912, the year New Mexico was granted statehood, the Territory of New Mexico was a wild and dangerous place. Homesteaders, cowboys, ranchers, sheepherders, buffalo hunters, prospectors, treasure hunters and railroad men pushing the borders of the western frontier met with resistance from man and animal alike. Native Americans, who had lived on the land defending their boundaries and way of life for centuries, reacted to the wave of outsiders in various ways. The agrarian Pueblo peoples along the Rio Grande largely kept to themselves. Apache, Navajo and Ute tribes sometimes attempted to co-exist with the newcomers but most often they fought against encroachment. Anglo and Mexican outlaws ran roughshod across the frontier and there was no shortage of bears, wolves, mountain lions, blizzards and bad water to unsettle the newcomers. This collection of frontier stories vividly illustrates the range of struggles, triumphs and catastrophes faced by settlers who hoped to tame the land and inhabitants of Territorial New Mexico. Between 1936 and 1940, field workers in the Federal Writers' Project (a branch of the government-funded Works Progress Administration, or WPA, later called Work Projects Administration) recorded authentic accounts of life in the early days of New Mexico. These original documents, published here as a story collection for the first time, reflect the conditions of the New Mexico Territory as played out in dynamic clashes between individuals and groups competing for control of the land and resources. "Frontier Stories," the second in the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project Book Series after "Outlaws & Desperados," features informative background and historic photographs. Forthcoming books in the series include "Lost Treasures & Old Mines" and "Stories From Hispano New Mexico."
