Description: ANTONIO DE FIERRO BLANCO, a man now approaching eighty years of age, has spent most of his life in Spanish-American countries. Associated even in early childhood with the primitive peons and Indians, he has devoted much of his time to collecting their folklore, legends, tradition, and superstitions. In The Journey of the Flame he recounts the tale told by Don Juan Obrigon, feudal lord of Old Mexico, on his hundredth birthday, when he was called upon to recite his most vivid memories. Don Obrigon, known during past years in the Three Californias as Juan Colorado (because of his red hair) and to the Indiada of the same territory as The Flame, chose to tell the story of one eventful year in his childhood when he made the journey from the south of Lower California to San Francisco Bay in the Company of Don Firmin Sanhudo and his wife, the Dona Ysabel. The result is a salty pioneer narrative, rich in color and authentic historical background. This special edition of THE JOURNEY OF THE FLAME has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston.
