Bosque Bonito: Violent Times along the Borderlands during the Mexican Revolution (Center for Big Bend Studies Occasional Papersn, Number 7)

The book is well written and the author description of the territory, the local people, the horses, donkeys, environment, cavalry life, Mexican revolution is great. He had a love for animals, people, and the scenery. His story telling keeps you interested. Chapter 8 is tough, he has first hand account of the Porvernir massacre of innocent Mexican-Americans at the hands of murdering Texas Rangers.

This is a typical local history of interest to local people and to specialist completist collectors. No grand analysis here.Just the stories of individuals caught up in hostilities, most of whom preferred to be let alone.

excellent read. This book is a treasure as it is written by someone who was actually there. Historical accounts and anecdotal evidence are seldom without prejudice for their side of the tale. Usually, each retelling and re-writing of any historical event results in a dilution or glorification. I believe this author did his best to tell his story as it actually happened.

It is good to read first hand of the events that occurred during those years. Interesting info.

I did not care for the fact that it said there was 8 peopie killed when there was 15, i did like that the story was very sincer

most excellent material on our family history
