How did Don Magdaleno's deep-rooted cultural heritage shape his journey from Mexico to the United States?In this book, author Gregorio Mora Torres traces Don Magdaleno's life from his roots in Eastern Michoacan as a descendant of peasants to his survival skills, shaped by both regional culture and Mesoamerican traditions.
