The story begins in the mud-built city of Chihuahua, where a stranger refuses to doff his hat to a passing officer and makes a dangerous enemy. Political coups, a besieged party, fire-arrows and fights with knife, pistol and hatchet carry the action out to the Llano Estacado, the Staked Plain, and a ranch standing alone in the wilderness.
Vigorous frontier adventure from the Irish-American novelist who thrilled Victorian boys with the Southwest. Download the free EPUB.
