Loretto and the Miraculous Staircase

Alice Bullock explored "the Land of Enchantment" in depth, ferreting out the legends and folklore of New Mexico. She spent almost three years collecting these stories, recording and thus saving many of them for posterity. An "almost-native" New Mexican (she arrived in the area at age eight) Alice grew up in Gardiner and graduated from Colfax County High School in Raton. She became a country school teacher and then a reporter and freelance writer. She is also the author of "Living Legends of the Santa Fe Country," "Mountain Villages of New Mexico," and "Monumental Ghosts," all from Sunstone Press.
