A New Mexico Shepherd Life Described By A Globe-Democrat Cor
A Globe-Democrat correspondent sketches the hard and lonely life of a Navajo or Mexican shepherd in New Mexico. He endures cold storms, nights in the open, and little society beyond sheep and a fellow herder. Work includes tending 2,500 sheep, watching for coyotes, and occasional dances or visits that risk punishment. Pay ranges from 15 to 20 dollars monthly with rations of flour, meat, beans, coffee, sugar and salt. The image is of a dirty, rugged figure in ragged clothes, boots of raw hide, and a life without comforts or steady shelter.
