Long fascinated with the Mexican Revolution and the vicious border
wars of the early twentieth century, Winston Groom brings to life
this period of history in a saga of heroism, injustice and love. El
Paso pits the legendary outlaw and revolutionary Pancho Villa,
against a thrill-seeking railway tycoon known as the Colonel whose
fading fortune is tied up in a colossal ranch in Chihuahua. When
Villa kidnaps the Colonel's grandchildren in the midst of a cattle
drive and absconds into the Sierra Madre, the patriarch and his
adopted son head to El Paso, looking for a group of cowboys brave
enough to hunt the Generalissimo down. Replete with gunfights,
daring escapes and an unforgettable bullfight, El Paso, with its
blend of history and legend, is an indelible portrait of the
American Southwest in the waning days of the frontier.
