Considered one of the finest travel accounts of its era, this book describes the equestrian exploits of its famous author, George Ruxton, a young British army officer who rode from the port of Vera Cruz to the walls of Santa Fe, Mexico, in 1847.
It is a true tale of rough adventure filled with detailed descriptions of Indians, Mexicans and Americans.
This is a delightful and invigorating tale of a time and a place now long gone.
