Other editions of book The Bells of San Juan

Ambitious criminals and an uncertain sheriff collide in this story of greed, revenge, and unsuspected love in a small California town. The caretaker of the mission's bells plans to ring them to usher in a new era for the town, but will he be commemorating death, marriage, emergency . . . or perhaps all three? Personal tragedies, schemes for terror and profit, and the threat of revolution spilling over from Mexico combine to set the stage for San Juan's long-overdue transformations.

In the old west, lawmen used to find it very difficult to lead what can even remotely resemble a normal life. Rod Norton is no different, and in a land where criminals make their own laws, his life may be in great peril as long as he stands for the justice he believes in. Moreover, even the lives of his future wife and children might be threatened. Will he be able to stand his ground and overcome the dangers that await him?The Bells of San Juan is an exciting tale about bravery, truth and justice, that Jackson Gregory managed to create around a world that is remarkably lifelike and believable. With highly accurate descriptions that will keep you immersed in the world of the Old West, he recounts a story of bandits and desperados far south from any place where lawmen would normally hold the reins and protect the land from the likes of them.The descriptions and addictive accounts presented by Gregory about the small town of San Juan will make you feel like you are truly in a forgotten, deserted place that looks more genuine than the set of any western movie. The story includes a comprehensive and detailed account of the challenges and hardship of the time, while also providing a historically accurate glimpse into the way of life associated with many of the families and people who lived near the Mexican border in the mid-to-late 1800s.Jackson Gregory manages to build up the suspense, and create a fast-paced, well-written plot that will captivate even readers who are not necessarily used to the style and writing approach of his age. Quite timeless, as well as easy to read, but with complex and unexpected plot twists that will delight and inspire you, this book is one of the few truly genuine western classics.
