A stunning history of legendary treasure seekers and enigmatic natives in Mexico's Copper Canyon The Sierra Madre--no other mountain range in the world possesses such a ring of intrigue. In the Sierra Madre is a groundbreaking and extraordinary memoir that chronicles the astonishing history of one of the most famous, yet unknown, regions in the world. Based on his one-year sojourn among the Raramuri/Tarahumara, award-winning journalist Jeff Biggers offers a rare look into the ways of the most resilient indigenous culture in the Americas, the exploits of Mexican mountaineers, and the fascinating parade of argonauts and accidental travelers that has journeyed into the Sierra Madre over centuries. From African explorers, Bohemian friars, Confederate and Irish war deserters, French poets, Boer and Russian commandos, Apache and Mennonite communities, bewildered archaeologists, addled writers, and legendary characters including Antonin Artaud, B. Traven, Sergei Eisenstein, George Patton, Geronimo, and Pancho Villa, Biggers uncovers the remarkable treasures of the Sierra Madre.

One of the most significant literary works of the 1920s and 30s and the basis for the 1948 Academy Award-winning movie directed by John Huston with Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston that ranks as one of the best films of all time, The Treasure of Sierra Madre comes to the stage as a powerful folktale with metaphysical underpinnings. Three men, led by an old miner-philosopher, find gold in the mean and stormy terrain of the Sierra Madre mountains. Greed leads to gunplay and theft, the mine caves in and the gold is swept away by a windstorm. This version of the classic tale is sure to delight audiences with a swashbuckling tale that pits human nature against natural forces.
