Former Arizona Ranger, Sam Allen is trying to convince himself he
can be content retiring to a rocking chair but destiny has other
ideas. A Son's Blood is the story of Sam's pursuit of the Mexican
killers of his son. An educated man, the product of southern
aristocracy, Sam was a commander in the Confederate Army, and had
returned from the war to find his parents dead and the plantation
taken by carpet baggers. Now a widower, he is surprised to learn
that the killers of his son were vaqueros working for his wife's
Mexican cousins. The fugitive Mexicans, led by the patrician
Alejandro Herrera, are confronted by Apaches led by the fierce
warriors, Geronimo and Juh. At the same time, Sam is wounded by an
Apache warparty and rescued by Papago warriors. While Alejandro and
his men are stripped of everything they own and forced to walk
naked across the unrelenting desert, Sam is taken to a Papago
village where he is nursed back to health by Shashani, a former
lover. The rekindling of their relationship doesn't deter the old
Ranger from returning to the chase as soon as he's able. Captured
by the Apache Kid in an unforgettable battle in Cazador Canyon near
the Mexico Border, Sam is taken to the El Mundo Rancho, where he is
confronted by Alejandro and his powerful father, the Baron of
Sonora. The ensuing duel is a not-to-be-missed battle between a
strong cocky youth and a wiser more experienced man. What makes A
Son's Blood stand alone among adventure stories isn't only that Sam
Allen is older than the typical western hero. It's the author's
intimate relationship to the desert, a place his family settled a
century-and-a-half ago. Names, descriptions, characters, even
judicious use of Papago, Apache and Spanish languages gives one a
personal feeling of old Arizona. In the words of the Tombstone
Epitaph newspaper, "The characters and events of the Arizona border
country come alive as you ride the vengeance trail with a veteran
Arizona Ranger . . . you're behind-the-scenes at the O.K. Corral
shootout, in the desert with Geronimo and the last of the wild
free-roaming Apaches-it's a book that puts you into the heart of
Old Arizona in a personal way."
