NOTES
- Filter: every piece is about John / the family John built / the world John navigated / the descendant's search for John. Silvia-primary pieces live on SilviaHectorWebber.com or Wave 2.
- Moved to Wave 2 / Silvia's site: Searching the Laws Remembering Her Name; Beneath the Cypress Moon; The Arithmetic of Loss; The Inheritor; Webber's Prairie; Fading Memory Held Gently; Outcasts of the Land; The Ranch That Held Us; The Hidalgo Compound.
- Not two-per-section: the Colorado holds 5 on purpose — the heart of the book.
