Eugene Rhodes Revisited in New Mexico

Eugene Manlove Rhodes, the wild multi-hyphenate who coined “the land of enchantment” for New Mexico, is back in the spotlight with the reissue of his two iconic novels set in the haunting Jornada del Muerto desert. “Pasó por Aquí” dramatizes a 1904 bank robbery and its fugitive’s collision with a Mexican family, while “The Desire of the Moth” dives into the unsolved mystery of Albert Jennings Fountain’s disappearance near White Sands. Both novels, brimming with vivid desert landscapes and gripping historical grit, are getting a fresh audience — a welcome revival for a writer whose voice still echoes across New Mexico’s rugged terrain.
