Klappentext zu „El Paso “
Winston Groom brings to life a much-forgotten period of history in this sprawling saga of heroism, injustice and love. An episodic novel set in six parts, El Paso pits the legendary Pancho Villa, a much-feared outlaw and revolutionary, against a thrill-seeking railway tycoon known as the Colonel whose fading fortune is tied up in a colossal ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico. But when Villa kidnaps the Colonels grandchildren in the midst of a cattle drive and absconds into the Sierra Madre, the ageing New England patriarch and his adopted son head to El Paso, hoping to find a group of cowboys brave enough to hunt the Generalissimo down.
