The White Chief, A Legend of Northern Mexico, by Captain Mayne Reid.
________________________________________________________________________
An exciting and well-written book by Mayne Reid based on his experiences
during the war between America and Mexico in the 1840s. Reid took the
title of "Captain" because that was what his men called him during that
war, although he was never promoted to that rank.
The importance of Reid's books with this background is that they were
among the first in the Wild West genre.
