It was Christmas time in Old Tascosa. The year was 1931-well into the Great Depression and on the brink of the worst days of the Dust Bowl. Tascosa, once a booming Wild West town complete with outlaws, cowboys, and gamblers, was all but deserted. Its only resident was Frenchie McCormick, a famous dance-hall girl from Tascosa's glory days. In 1931 she was a frail and lonely woman in her eighties, living in a tumble-down adobe shack and waiting for Tascosa to rise again. This story is about Tascosa, the Christmas pageant of 1931, and how twelve children, stranded in a one-room schoolhouse by an untimely blizzard, met Frenchie.
