Many Anglo writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries portrayed the area that eventually became New Mexico as virgin territory without traditions and roots. But for Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, this landscape meant a long tradition of Hispanic families not only tied to the land but nourished by it.
Cabeza de Baca`s We Fed Them Cactus recounts the changes endured by her family because of their dependence on the land. Cabeza de Baca contrasts Anglo writers` perception of the "plains" with Hispanic families` perception of the land as "fields" of herbs and cactus, domesticated and accessible. Her family`s relationship to land, weather, and landscape is all-important. She writes, "Rain for us made history. . . . The droughts were as impressed on our souls as the rains. When we spoke of the Armistice of World War I, we always said, `The drought of 1918 when the Armistice was signed.`"
