This focuses on the a 200 mile trek through the mountains, made by 3 boys - 2 Spanish and 1 Indian - and the gradual understanding of each other that they achieved. The author's note mentions that during the actual Journada del Muerto of the refugees, there were 50 deaths a day - or one for every 1000 feet of desert they traversed.
