This a grim, but fascinating tale of a group of misguided young men who got themselves in a heap of trouble when they crossed the border from Texas into Mexico. What these men went through is unimaginable in these times. Rick Bass has written about this misadventure and painted a rich picture of the people and land of the 19th century.

Although Rick Bass writes very well, the story was a little weak and wavering; holding my attention closely at times and at others making me struggle through a lot of prose to get to the next good stuff.
