James A. McKenna

0/5 ( ratings)

From the rugged corner of New Mexico called the Black Range, "Black Range Tales" gives a glimpse of the rugged adventure that was the old time prospectors and pioneers daily life.

McKenna went to the southwest in his youth and his life over a period of nearly sixty years was a varied and adventurous one, with danger and the sudden death of comrades often a part of the day's work. He followed many calling during a half century , but most of the time he was a prospector, lucky and luckless by turns, who's search for gold ranged from old Mexico to the Arctic Circle.
