In most generations there appears a person, usually a man, who has authenticated powers of healing and who acts, often, as a kind of messiah. This is a person who by his or her charisma and personal magnetism attracts a large following. Charlatan, miracle worker or deluded mystic? Few contemporaries can ever decide and history itself is not sure. Such a person was Francis Schlatter who arrived in Denver in 1892. He was a German immigrant shoemaker and a devout Catholic who was on a special mission for the ?Father.? The mission required him to wander about the country and even to be thrown in jail in Arkansas. In the villages of New Mexico, he was known as El Sanador, ?The Healer.? This is a collection of articles about Schlatter and his own story of the wandering. He finally disappeared from a ranch in New Mexico and his body and ?miraculous? copper rod were later discovered in Mexico.
NORMAN CLEAVELAND, born 1901 in California, came home to New Mexico at ten months of age. The son of Agnes Morley Cleaveland, he was educated in Silver City, New Mexico and in California. After receiving his degree at Stanford University, his professional career as a mining engineer was spent principally abroad, including twenty-two years in Southeast Asia. He is the author of two books, THE MORLEYS and BANG BANG IN AMPHANG.

Healer: The Story of Francis Schlatter
This book is about Francis Schlatter, an Alsatian cobbler who came to the United States in the late 1800's. He became known as "the healer" because of miraculous cures that were attributed to him. He traveled, mostly on foot, and often barefoot, through much of the southwestern part of the U.S.
This book is a compilation about Schlatter and incudes a reprint of a portion of Schlatter's own story as told to the author's grandmother and originally published in 1897. It is the story of his pilgrimage.
All that said, I actually purchased the book because my great grandfather (a noted NM politician in his time) hosted Schlatter for a few nights during Schlatter's pilgrimage through New Mexico - and his name is mentioned on the second-to-last page. I read the entire book for that little tid-bit at the end.
