Book Excerpt: 
. . .They would have long since gone out to examine it more closely; but they were not yet free from apprehensions of a second attack from the Indians; and they prudently remained within the corral.

At length, however, they could forego an examination no longer. They had formed their suspicion of what the object was; and Carlos and Antonio climbed over the carretas, and proceeded towards it.

On arriving at the spot they were not so much surprised—for they had partially anticipated such a thing—at finding the body of a dead Indian. It was lying flat upon the grass, face downwards; and, on closer examination, a wound, from which much blood had run, was perceived in the side. There was the mark of a rifle bullet—Carlos had not fired in vain! They bent down, and turned over the body to examine it.

Цікава книзя. Пішла трохи краще, ніж Всадник без головы, може тому, що я вже була готова до манери автора викладати хід сюжету.

Interesants ieskats pilnīgi citā kultūrā, viss tā mazliet pārspīlēts un varonīgs, tomēr, kā leģenda pat ļoti labs stāsts, bija interesanti lasīt.

Това е първия ми контакт с автор, за който само съм слушал. "Белият вожд" е класически приключенски роман, който донякъде мога да сравня с творбите на Карл Май. Авторът описва един див мексикански Запад от времето преди американско-мексиканската война. "Белият вожд" е история за любов, диво отмъщени

Just finished the book and it was worth reading even though carlos annihilated whole san ildefonso. They deserved it

То чувство, когда жестокость героя протагониста превосходит жестокость испанских колонизаторов да и всех остальных героев повествования

Ok, it was promised to be one of the best novels in the history, but felt to me as reading a typical soap opera. I used to what Santa Barbara and this is pretty much it. I might not be getting it. I guess the depiction of emotions and feelings of people is quite good, but still not good enough for m

Fascinating prehistory of the western genre inspired by Reid's seeing Aztlán while fighting in the Mexican/American War. Does for New Mexico what his THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN does for Texas, describes a strange, new world. Of course, the hero is white/güero. Mixed-bloods don't fare as well, mestizos, m
