El Guero : A True Adventure Story

The son of a respected judge, El Guero--"The Blond One"--never suspects that his comfortable life will change when the president is deposed by General Diaz in 1876. But his father's loyalty to the old government sends the family into exile almost overnight. El Guero and his family set off first to Acapulco and then by sea to the wild, bandit-infested territory of Baja, California.
