My uncle ended up with the house after my grandfather passed away and they were trying to fix it up but I don’t know what ever happened to the house after that. Mr. Garcia spoke to my grandmother and she’s in one of his books. I remember seeing the book he gave her when I was young but I don’t know which book it is. It’s really great to hear these stories.

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad...Hi Judith!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you like the medium format shot of the two-story adobe building so much! I used it at the top of a post I did on the ghost town of Guadalupe, NM itself. You can find that piece <a href="https://cityofdust.blogspot.com/2018/01/music-on-wind-guadalupe-new-mexico.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>.<br /><br />Would you like me to send you a small print of that photo? I'd be happy to! <br /><br />Johnjmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470407787311078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921005.post-17510896641397559622018-10-23T13:19:11.014-05:002018-10-23T13:19:11.014-05:00I also loved the picture of the two story building...I also loved the picture of the two story building, as I had first seen it on Facebook, posted by John Mulhouse. It was some kind of double exposure that showed the top half of the building as a "ghost". I was awed by the picture.Judith Bowersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921005.post-26596200529455361902018-10-23T13:15:16.457-05:002018-10-23T13:15:16.457-05:00You post was thoroughly interesting to me as I too...You post was thoroughly interesting to me as I too went to a one-room schoolhouse in New Mexico, tho not on a reservation. Your description of the schoolroom was identical to the one I went to. However we all hovered around the stove for warmth in the winter. My mother was the teacher and I was in first and second grade there (all in one year as I would finish the first grade work and then go into the second grade classes. Like you, the older kids would do some of the teaching. My brother Bill was in the fifth grade. And so, I loved your story.<br />Judith Bowersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7921005.post-17239974549492963842017-10-17T20:09:21.757-05:002017-10-17T20:09:21.757-05:00Thank you for your kind words, Yunchen Tian! Guada...Thank you for your kind words, Yunchen Tian! Guadalupe is a little difficult to find. It took two tries and many hours before I was successful in locating it. Hint: Find the west bank of Rio Puerco and stay close to it!<br /><br />I can see from your website that you're doing excellent work. I wish I could cover as much of the world as you! I was particularly interested to see your posts on the Balkans. I visited Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia several years ago and did a post on Sarajevo that's <a href="http://cityofdust.blogspot.com/2009/05/welcome-to-sarajevo.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. It's a fascinating and sometimes heartbreaking part of the world that I remain very curious about.<br /><br />Thanks for getting in touch!
