Summary

"Border Bandits is an account of the many, many stories of back and forth skirmishes between the Mexicans and Texans during the late 1800s and early 1900s. There practically wasn't a border, which caused a lot of problems and thievery between the two countries. The seventeen tales in this book re-create border raids that originated from both sides of the fluid and much contested line and tells the stories of colorful characters--Mexican and American--that have since secured their place in history"--Provided by publisher
