About this book
Gold and silver lie stacked inside a guarded Mexican cavern as Tetzcatl considers how their promise might draw Americans into his plans. William O. Stoddard opens this historical adventure with a secret store of wealth, a dangerous chasm and a scheme to turn treasure seekers against Spanish power. The story connects these ambitions with the conflict around the Alamo, combining a search for riches with frontier fighting.
In the mounted action along the Rio Grande, Red Wolf rides between Mexican lancers and approaching Comanche fighters before setting out to find Colonel Bowie's party. Speed, signals and mistaken expectations shape the encounter, giving the fighting a clear sense of movement across the prairie. Written for young readers, the novel offers a look at older adventure fiction about Texas, including the period's dated language and attitudes toward native peoples.
