In Tales from the Journey of the Dead: Ten Thousand Years on an American Desert, Alan Boye describes traveling to two parallel chains of mountains, one hundred miles south of Albuquerque,  by foot. Boye visits battle sites from the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the lonely canyon where the Apaches fought to keep their homeland, and the isolated site of the world’s first atomic explosion.
