Nobody writes about South Texas the way Elmer Kelton does. In this book, Texas is still a Spanish province. Tennesseean Mordecai Lewis and his two sons ride into this murderous country. Mordecai dies, leaving his boys with enemies out for their skin both in Texas and Tennessee.
Mordecai Lewis and his sons ride into Spanish held Texas on a wild horse hunt and encounter a world of trouble.
Kelton is a very good western writer.
