A short story collection from Old New Mexico featuring fictional mountain man Old One Eye Pete.

“Aguardiente,” the girl said contemptuously. “Your so-called water of life.” She pushed her long black hair away from her face. “Water of hell!”

Old One Eye Pete contains over thirty stories set in Old New Mexico, many based on actual people or events. They include:

That Damn Mule. A green-broke mule balks at the rain-slicked shale on a narrow mountain path.

That’ll Teach ’Em. A group of trappers encounters Apaches in the Gila wilderness.

They Were My Friends. A tale of friendship and betrayal during the Taos uprising against American occupation.

Decisions. A young woman must find a way to cross cultural barriers and marry the Pueblo man she loves.

Obsessions. An Episcopal Methodist missionary interferes in Maxwell Land Grant Company politics and suffers the consequences.
