Book Cover & Preview Text
Marina Morales stood at the big hacienda window and tried to recall how many times Efrin and Tyree sat at the huge ugly pine table in the kitchen and congratulated themselves into oblivion on whiskey and tequila. This was a ritual between the two old cowboys after each sale of cattle and horses to the Army at Fort Bowie. Tyree and his cow hands would come running full gallop, shouting and shooting their pistols as they approached the hacienda at the Moon Driver Ranch. This was a signal to the rest of the ranch hands and Marina that the sale had taken place and money, whiskey,tequila and presents were forthcoming. Tyree's prize mules were heavy laden with the booty but it did not take long before the mules were relieved of their burdens and the celebration would begin.This time in addition to the mules and their treasures, twenty or more beautiful Spanish bred mares were herded into the East corral. Tyree wanted to bring new blood into his herd of fine horses.
Efrin had just dropped a half empty bottle of tequila on the adobe floor and the crashing sound brought Marina back from her daydreaming. Efrin frantically was trying to pick up the broken pieces of glass when Tyree grabbed him and stopped Efrin from cutting his hand on the jagged glass. Before Marina could start on her cussing in Spanish, Tyree told Efrin that he had sealed their doom and out to the barn they would go; banished for the remainder of the celebration.
