The foreshadowing of the previous chapter is realized. Latour will build his cathedral and become rooted in Santa Fe, while Vaillant's church will be the wagon upon which he travels. Another instance of foreshadowing occurs when Vaillant visits Armajillo. The young man is making ornate boots for the little Santiago in the church at Chimayo, believing the saint will change his luck. Vaillant is aware that the criminals in Denver will not be as gentle as Armajillo.
