As he flees to the sanctuary of Mexico, Chacho Fernandez is unaware
of the fuel he has added to the already simmering racial hatreds in
and around the quiet town of Domingo, Texas. Through events set in
motion by a misunderstanding, Chacho becomes a folk hero to his
people and a dangerous fugitive to a group of zealous lawmen.First
published in 1974 by Ballantine Books, ""Manhunters"", the tale of
Chacho's legendary flight, was inspired by the story of
controversial Mexican fugitive Gregorio Cortez. In 1901 Cortez, a
young horseman, shot a sheriff during an argument, leading to the
largest concerted manhunt in Texas history.This novel is alive with
the idiom of Kelton's native West Texas and freely punctuated with
his trademark wry humor. His characters, both the ignorantly petty
as well as the quietly strong, ring true to life.
