He had only a shack
of ocotillo and mud
but he raised a large family
and was known as a stud.

and friends in three nations

had quite the relations.
And though he was poor,
never did something great,
this tough old Latino
lived to be 108!
Gilberto Luna had wives on both sides of the US-Mexico border and at least 11 children, possibly more. He raised many of them in this jacal in what is now Big Bend National Park. He died in 1947.
