From the Dust Jacket

 

Taking his title from Juan de Oñate’s carving in the living rock of El Morro, Eugene Manlove Rhodes created his own memorial to the decent people of his world who had “passed this way” without fanfare.

He wrote about them with wit and gusto and tenderness; with probity and clarity and a sureness of interpretation as yet unequaled.  In so doing he captured for all time the free, lonely, and self-reliant, skilled, eternally optimistic essence of his West.

Rhodes himself rode a brindle steer, fleeing from an irate sheriff, as his story hero McEwen does, and Rhodes made seven miles on his bovine mount before the beast “sulled” on him.  Rhodes, too, had been a volunteer nurse in a diphtheria pest house when El Garrotillo (The Strangler) was the most feared disease in the isolated West.

Pat Garret appears herein under his own name and in a favorable light, which was Rhode’s way of rebutting what he considered to be unfair disparagement of Garrett by other writers.

The story was filmed in 1948 as “Four Faces West,” with Joel McCrea in the lead and Charles Bickford as Pat Garrett.

 

Rhodes was one of the great writers of the western, and this is the most anthologized of any Rhodesian storyperhaps the most anthologized of any western story.  Students of western history and American literature, as well as everyone who loves tales of the Old West will enjoy this new edition of a Rhodes classic, now reissued as Volume 50 in the Western Frontier Library.
