No one wants you to tamper with a legend, especially by
telling the truth.
So begins the story of a proud man named Thomas Canfield.
He is descended from the earliest Texas pioneers and has
inherited their courage and fortitude. To the Mexican
citizens of Stonehill, Texas, he is “El Gavilán”—the Hawk—so
called for the fire in his eyes, especially when confronted
by the likes of Branch Isom. This insolent, dangerous
newcomer intends to build his fortune at Canfield’s expense
but underestimates his opponent. When a deadly feud ensues,
the town of Stonehill heads toward a day of reckoning and
the creation of a legend.
