Dr. Chapman on his boat in Topolobampo.
He had lived here since the twenties. I told him I had seen red-headed Mexicans in the towns between Guaymas and Los Mochis. He said that they were the descendents of an Irish priest who came to Mexico to preach in the mountains to the east that separate the state of Chihuahua from Sonora and Sinaloa. The priest’s offspring were a western diaspora.
