Author Description

Heart of the Sunset, published in 1915 was set in northern Mexico and Texas's Rio Grande Valley. It is filled with a slew of "bad guys," a brawny and heroic Texas Ranger, a ravishingly beautiful love interest and many other cliched characters. Will Dave get the girl or will the evil Mexican General Longorio win the day? Will justice triumph and love conquer all? Rex Beach's foot is on his native heath again in his new novel. Real incidents of the Mexican-Texas border are transmuted into colorful romance.
