Description:Novel with the colorful and romantic background of Old California in the days of the Mexican War, when the United States was struggling with Mexico for the new territory and both countries fought the still savage and unsubdued tribes of Indians who made periodic raids on the ranchos of the Spanish Dons. One of these raids -- on the Rancho Los Alamos of Don Alfredo -- left desolation and death in its wake. Family and retainers were massacred and the two small daughters of Don Alfredo were kidnaped. It was Henry Bowie, a Texas Scout who had come into California looking for trouble, who rescued them and found them sanctuary in the Mission of Padre Vicente, and who fought them even as he rode away. But he was to remember them eight years later when, his suit spurned by the stormy Carmen, he tried to forget by roving California with Kit Carson and Captain Sutter. He was captured by Mexican soldiers and sentenced to die. The priest who came to give him absolution was none other than Padre Vicente. How the Padre Vicente again came to Bowie's rescue, and how the gallant Texan met again the lovely Carmen is but a part of this tale of breathless action, glowing color, and the stirring heroism of men who changed a lawless, war-torn land into an ordered state.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
