Excellent! I had a copy and someone stole from me about 10 years ago. It's a compilation of Valdemar's personal anecdotes, and other true stories gathered by Valdemar from his fellow drivers years after they had retired. Valdemar and his friends were expert desert drivers who transported people from Caborca Sonora to San Luis Rio Colorado Sonora from the 1930's until the late 40's via Sonoyta and the desert dunes when there were no paved roads. The stories include pretty gruesome accounts of their passengers dying of thirst in the desert, and some very funny and touching anecdotes as well, i.e. the driver who tasted ice cream for the first time when transporting President Cardenas. Their passengers included migrant workers from the south of Mexico, Hindus, Japanese and Chinese. All the stories are told in the simple direct, funny and unimbelished language used by the people of that time and of that region of Sonora; which makes the book even more authentic. A.A.
