| Reviews & Excerpts |
| Mr. Lopez has succeeded in recreating a long-vanished time, when nomadic buffalo hunters (Ciboleros) roamed the high plains of New Mexico. The story is set against a backdrop of high historical drama, with the land changing rule from New Spain to Mexico and finally to the forced annexation by the US, bringing sweeping changes and violent conflicts. This novel employs memorable characters and drama to bring this time and culture to life. |
