Two beautiful Spanish words, Bonanza and Ponderosa, whose meaning is this: Bonanza: Prosperity, favorable economic or social development. Ponderosa: That something is done or done with great care. The Ponderosa ranch was land belonging to the Spanish territory "New Spain" where Indians like Jerónimo were Catholics and Spaniards who lived in peace and were not savages. Until the independence of Mexico came and then the conquest of the United States, snatching and killing its inhabitants. This is history... Greetings from Andalusia in Spain 🇪🇸.
