A vivid portrait from Outing describes Muchacho a mute shepherd boy of Mocano heritage tending a California flock.

An odd colonial era note explains Turkish coffee preparation with copper dipper devices and a coffee kettle pushed into coals. It describes cold-water method, sugar per cup, thick brew with grounds, a foam called Kelmac, and serving in tiny porcelain cups with water.
