Holden led these investigations into the Yaqui Native American tribes of Sonora, Mexico, revealing much about their culture and characteristics. Noting a relative absence of Yaqui studies in Native American ethnology, Professor Holden sought to fund an expedition to their lands from Texas. The-then ensuing Great Depression meant obtaining funds necessary for travel and study was difficu William Holden worked as a researcher and professor with the Texas Technological College. Affiliated with his workplace for most of his lifetime, Holden's activities form a notable portion of the campus museum, which he helped establish. After retiring in 1970, he remained an active supporter and fundraiser for the college, successfully building a row of low-cost houses on the campus for students.

It was mostly a sketchy account of the tribal wars with the Mexicans since i74o. It occurred to us that if we could get to the old men on the Rio Yaqui we could possibly draw from them additional information. Williams had visited the eight villages on the Rio Yaqui in I929, and had become a close friend of Jesus Munguia, at that time chief of all the villages. Munguia had since urged Williams to visit the Yaquis again and bring his friends if he wished. An opportunity to enter the Yaqui country as Williams' friends caused us to start planning an expedition.

The introduction by Professor Kelley adds scholarly analysis to the poignant autobiographical narrative."?Booklist. "A powerful chronicle. . . . It deserves an important place in the annals of American Indian oral history and literature."?Bernard L. Fontana, New Mexico Historical Review. "A valuable document . . . about the effects of the Diaz Indian policy in Sonora on the human beings who were its object. [It] tells the story of the social limbo created by the shattering of families and corruption of personal relations under the relentless pressures of the Yaqui deportation program."?Edward H. Spicer, Arizona and the West. "The nightmare world of witchcraft and dream-dependence is one of the major fascinations of this strange and moving book. . . . [Its understatement] acquires a kind of fascinating power, as does the laconic stoicism of the Yaqui himself."?Southern California Quarterly. Jane Holden Kelley, a professor of archaeology at the University of Cal-gary, is the author of Yaqui Women: Contemporary Life Histories (1978), also a Bison Book. Her father, William Curry Holden, a trained historian and anthropologist, met the Yaqui narrator of this chronicle, Rosalio Moisäs, in 1934. They remained close friends until Moisäs's death in 1969.
