Nevin's History

The turbulent lower Rio Grande valley of the 1870s is the backdrop of this epic historical novel of romance, violence, and the struggle for civilization on the frontier. Against that backdrop protagonist Andrew Nevin, news-paper reporter, Civil War draft dodger, informer, and self-professed coward, tells a story of three legendary figures: Texas Rangers John "Rip" Ford and Lee H. McNelly and the bandit mayor of Matamoros, Juan Cortina.
