Summary

This book is one of the very few works where one finds that unique balance between historical accuracy and the rip-roaring drama of true life adventures. In this narrative, there is developed the intricate study of early inhabitants on Padre from both physical and cultural standpoints. Then comes the white man with the changes he effected in the land. This work carries you along with the awakening of man's curiousity in Europe and the rise of Spain with her exploratory leadership. This is a narrative that thunders with realism and the intensity of true historical adventure.
