Summary: Wild Times and Wild Men, Border Runners Redux! Turbelent Tee
Comment: This is a highly popularized recounting of some episodes which occurred during the turbulent teens of this century along the US Mexican border as a consequence of the spillover of the Mexican Revolution. I have little idea of the sources used by the author but I do know that his tales ring true so far as I, a specialist in the period, am aware of. This book is obviously not intended as final or definitive history. (I had never heard of the publisher until I was told of the book. Nor had I ever seen a review in any publication.) The book's purpose is to entertain. Each story (chapter) stands alone, thus there is a little repetition. The chapters read as stories written for Frontier Times or the True Magazine of the forties and fifties. Taken as it is presented, a remuda of well written, fact-based historical tales intended for the general reader's entertainment (and incidental acquiring of knowledge along with that entertainment) this work succeeds admirably. I enjoyed reading it and I believe you will too. Carter Rila "el cutachero"- the old border runner.
