The Silver City of Merida and the Chan Santa Cruz Legend
An elderly Maya Indian named Pancho recounts a journey from Merida into the Black Swamp to a hidden silver city. He describes a sacred, white alabaster metropolis with a great temple, narrow paths, and coppery smoke, glimpsed after an arrow wound left him wandering for weeks. He is nursed back by his master, Don Pepe Garcia, and swears the tale as truth.
