The Legend of Ponciano Gutiérrez and the Mountain Thieves
Once upon a time in the Mora Valley of northern New Mexico there lived a farmer named Ponciano Gutiérrez. On a trip through the mountains he was taken captive by Vicente Silva and his gang of bank robbers.

New Mexico authors at the turn of the last century published many accounts of the crimes of Vicente Silva.
