Welcome to El Mesteño as host David Flores and editor Homero Vera dive deep into the life of Don Pedrito Jaramillo, "The Healer of Los Olmos". Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, around 1830, this legendary curandero or faith healer settled near Los Olmos Creek in Texas in 1881. He was regarded as a saintly figure by thousands who believed God gave him the don (power) to heal the sick.
The episode explores oral histories detailing his humble life in a jacal and his famously "odd" remedies, like curing a mentally ill ranch hand with sleeves sewn onto a vest or stopping a baby's crying with water from a mud puddle. You'll also learn about his complex relationship with the Catholic Church, including his significant $1,500.00 donation for "La Campana" (The Bell) of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Falfurrias. Discover why, over a century later, his influence is still felt, and his Shrine and Texas Historical Marker are visited in Los Olmos, Brooks County.
