Title A name given to the resource Topo-lo-bampo Bay” song Description An account of the resource Written by Lon Hoding, this song encapsulates the hope and desire for a utopian land. The song’s chorus postulates Topolobampo as the “sweetest place upon the Earth’s face” which speaks to the idealization of the colony that people had in their collective imagination. Elsewhere in the song, Topolobampo is described as a “perpetual May” which is to say that the climate of this utopian paradise is neither dry nor drenched in rain. This is important because it implies that the climate and soil of this landscape would be ideal for farming and producing a sustainable production of food for the colony’s inhabitants. The reference to the “fertile soil” in the song’s second stanza solidifies this sentiment. Disillusioned with the economic system at home- an economic system which seems fraught with “schemers,” are to join together and head for the bay where these problems will cease to exist.
