The circle is closed as the boys in their desperation to flee from the wrath of Pancho Villa return to the very place they started from, the Hacienda De Venge, in hopes of throwing off Villa, if he has any thoughts of revenge for when they helped free Don Juan Belden. Once back at the Hacienda, the brothers realize that this is where their roads to the future bring them to a parting of ways. The boys have come home after over two years of being away only to find that they are now in a war of will and nerves in order to win the love of Don Cristobal's daughters, Carmela and Alberta. The brothers find that they must bump heads with the two suitors the girls have acquired in their absence, and it turns out to be a war of a different type, a war where there are no physical adversaries or material foes. But after surviving run-ins with bandits, thugs and Mother Nature, the brothers, used to adversity, take on this new challenge without complaining. This story is a mixture of fiction with a large dash of fact, and was inspired by my fertile imagination and the many stories I was told by a very credible and wonderful man who lived through it all and shared his past with me. -WB.

Once the boy was in his late teens, he felt like his mother was smothering his efforts to think for himself. So he joined the Marines, and with his being indoctrinated with thoughts and ideas taught to him by both his mother and the Klan, he now studied in depth, the blacks he saw. He was mixed in his feelings about black people, but, he had a very limited contact with other people of color.

This story picks up the narrative of the two brothers, from Book I of Guerrero, once they reach their destination under the protection of a few of Pancho Villa's Villistas. And it is still a story of circumstance, a story about the lives and times of two brothers caught up in the turbulent times of the Civil War in Mexico, 1910-1918. In this story, after finally reaching their goal, the fishing village of Coalcoman, where the boys finally met their uncle and aunt, and settled down to a life of school, church, and what at first they thought was going to be a quiet and sedate life. But this was not to be, for as with many towns and villages of that period according to their strength in men, bandits held many of them hostage. Their disruptive appearance threw the village and the town into an uproar of fear and anger, as their food sources were plundered, and their peace of mind so suddenly violated. The fearful threat of indecision of the villagers, and townspeople as to how to handle this situation, gave the bandits the time they needed to overwhelm both the town and village.
