The Hand of God/La Mano de Dios

The Old Mexican Called Him \Mano\ But The Family Knew That Was Short For La Mano De Dios. They Also Knew La Mano De Dios Was Spanish For The Hand Of God. That Was All They Knew. Whenever They Asked The Reason For The Name They Were Told It Was A Personal Thing Between The Old Man Who Was Their Father And The Old Mexican.Perhaps ItS Time His Wife Thought As The Children Grandchildren And Great Grandchildren Were Gathered For The Old ManS 90Th Birthday For Them To Know The Kind Of A Man He Was. Maybe ItS Time They Knew About The Comanches And The Apaches; About The Horse Thieves And Cattle Rustlers; About The Haciendados And The Big Ranchers; And About The Range War. Maybe She Thought ItS Time They Know Who They Are.
