About the Book

This award winning saga is set primarily in the American Southwest Territories where Americans settlers are coming after the Mexican-American War. The territories are undergoing unique and savage change as they shed 300 years of Spanish rule and move toward American statehood. The saga is told through the life of a young peasant, a fugitive on the run from Mexico riding a stolen Appaloosa stallion. He enters Texas in 1866 to find life on this side of the border holds new dangers along with the promise of a new life. As the saga continues, the author brings his unique Hispanic perspective and his stories transport the reader to a time and place where history and fiction collide.After Rafe's acquittal for the murder of Diego de la Torre, life for Rafe and Ana Teresa is as pleasant as the Santa Fe weather in early summer. They make plans to attend his mother's wedding and Ana Teresa is anxious to learn more about Rafe's past. Then a dark cloud forms on the horizon of their life when Ana Teresa receives word her parents are coming to Santa Fe from Spain. She believes her father will never accept her decision to marry a mestizo and might even try to kill Rafael.Jed Clements makes plans to rustle Cynthia's herd located south of San Marcial. He and his Texas henchmen believe the herd an easy mark because Cynthia hired local vaqueros. Between the weather, sparse plains of New Mexico, and Big Ed's posse, they find out rustling is not as easy as they planned.Life is changing in Santa Fe for both Rafe and the Spanish Aristocrats. New Mexico faces political upheaval as the American laws begin to tear at the Spanish traditions. The Spanish landowners are required to prove their land rights or lose them to squatters. An all out war is brewing over land in New Mexico.The material in this book is for mature audiences only and contains graphic content and language. It is intended for readers aged 18 and older.Award Winning Series: Selected a finalist in Edward James Olmos' 2018 Books to Movie Awards in Drama TV Series. The judges for these awards are screenwriters, directors, producers, and others from the entertainment industry. The Young Pistolero Series is also an award winning saga, voted number #1 best fiction series by the Latino Authors association.Verified Reviews: I know this series will earn many more awards. A wonderful contribution to Southwest Hispano history and culture. - Rudolfo Anaya, Professor Emeritus, acclaimed novelist, poet, playwright#1 Best Fiction Book by a Latino Author 2015 Mr. Alvarado weaves a plausible plot and his setting descriptions and actions are right on. His characters were exactly what you might expect of people living in the rough west trying to survive the elements and mayhem of that time. The author manages to bring the reader into the story with action built into every chapter that you can't escape feeling anxious wondering as to what will happen next.- Corina Martinez Chaudhry, Latino AuthorMr. Alvarado vividly illustrates many rugged times after the Civil and Mexican American Wars through the eyes of a 17 year old peon who comes to the U.S. and adapts and grows into a hero. The Young Pistolero is a great new historical western series! -Richard Golenda, post Secondary and College History Teacher and post Chairman of the Pueblo Economic Development CorporationI'm impressed by the historical detail and fast-moving plot. My father was a screenwriter for television and wrote many westerns for Wagon Train and Gunsmoke. Alvarado's novel could be the basis for one of those television westerns because of its engrossing plot and it clear depiction of heroes and villains.- Jennie Nelson PHD, Post-Graduate Professor of Writing, University of Idah
