M s Cuentos del Anton Chico is being written as a follow up to Cuentos del Anton Chico. It includes more cuentos, stories or vignettes, about the rich and colorful past of the Anton Chico area. Many of the vignettes include old articles taken from early New Mexico newspapers. At one time there were many Spanish language news papers in the Las Vegas and Santa Fe areas. The style and they used were a lot different, certainly more colorful and descriptive than the language used today. Many of the words and idiomatic experessions used have long since fallen out of use in everyday Spanish. I have decided to incorporate some of those articles in their entirety as they would have lost much of their original local color if they had been translated into English. Bilingualism was and continues to be important. M s Cuentos includes a section on military heroes from Anton Chico. That section includes stories about three soldiers who made the Supreme sacrifice for their country and never returned home. One of them is buried in the Anton Chico cemetery, one in the Santa Fe National Cemetery and the last one was lost at sea when his ship, a Japanese "Hell Ship," was sunk by friendly fire. Photographs of the heroes' mothers, Gold Star mothers, are included. There is also a section on Anton Chico Civil War veterans and a WWI section. The Civil War section includes a table with the names of Anton Chico area veterans from an 1890 special census. The WWI section includes photos of five of the veterans and biographical information about them. There are also an additional five that have biographical information, but no photos. There is also a section on enlaces, weddings, of couples from the Anton Chico area and a defunciones, deaths. The defunciones consists of obituaries that were published in newspapers. There are several biographical sketches of Anton Chico area personages from the last half of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20trh century. Included are two Catholic priests, John H. Mink, Anders Nelson, Eduardo Martinez, and several others.
