Northport, New York Professor & Author Publishes Historical Fiction

Living the Truth: A Yaqui Journey, a new book by Richard Walsh, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Born a full-blooded Yaqui Indian in Mexico's northwest Sonora province, Henry grew up in the most tumultuous period in the proud history of the tribe. Yearning for nothing more than to lead a quiet existence, pursuing the Yaquis' fascinating religion, which blended Christian elements acquired from Jesuit missionaries in the 1600s and reverence for the huya aniya or natural world, Henry and his family would be torn asunder by the bitter wars against the Mexican government from the 1860s to the 1880s.

Following a devastating defeat in 1886, Henry must make a life-altering decision, stay in oppressed Sonora, or risk a new beginning north of the border in the United States.

Living the Truth: A Yaqui Journey is a semi-biographical novel of the author's great-great grandfather, Henry Serine, who lived from 1854 to 1935. It is an incredible story of perseverance and the unconquerable human spirit. Combining a compelling personal narrative, interwoven with the culture and saga of the Yaqui Nation, the most feared Native American tribe in Mexico, it is a haunting and unforgettable book.
