Smugglers, illegal aliens, shoot-outs and pretty women offering bribes were all a part of the daily life of early Border Patrol officers in the American West, specifically the border area between Arizona and Mexico. The time is the 1920s and the problems are still the same: danger, intrigue and death came with the territory as members of the U.S. Border Patrol tried to enforce the law along the narrow strip of land that separates the two countries. There is non-stop action as agents hunt down criminals, chase fugitives and go underground to break up a smuggling ring. "Denver Westerner's Roundup" reported, "It is sometimes said that fact is stranger than fiction, and this book seems to reinforce that statement. He has written of eight of his adventures during that time and certainly crammed a lot of adventure into a couple of years on the border."
