A real-life story of courage. A powerful piece of Mexican-American heritage.

In Search of Jesús García by acclaimed Arizona author Don Dedera is a compelling out-of-print book that tells the true story of Jesús García, the humble railroad worker who gave his life to save an entire town in Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico in 1907. Known across generations as El Héroe de Nacozari, García's act of bravery continues to inspire both sides of the border.

With his signature journalistic eye and narrative elegance, Dedera retraces García’s final journey—visiting sites, speaking with locals, and uncovering the lasting impact of this Mexican hero. Rich in cultural insight and historical context, this book bridges Arizona and northern Mexico, offering readers a unique glimpse into regional history, heroism, and Mexican-American identity.
