...gallant foolishness that he himself perfectly summed up by describing himself as a "sailor on horseback"-a quality both lovable and exasperating. He called himself a socialist (though no known socialist state would have given him leg room). When his books did well, he built himself a thoroughly unsocialist, ranch-style castle in California's Valley of the Moon (it burned down before he could move in). He died at 40, probably a suicide during a fit of depression...
...uprising in eastern Santiago de Cuba, the island's No. 2 city, Lawyer Castro had been jailed, amnestied, exiled. In Mexico this year he pulled together a ragtag force, dubbed it the July 26 Movement (for the date of the Santiago attack), drilled it at a ranch near Mexico City.

Lat heads for the wider spaces of Montana, breaks broncs, hunts wolves, wins a pot on a horse race and finally satisfies his ambition-a ranch of his own. But all the time he progresses in the field of livestock, he is tethered to that stock character of all cowtowns, a prostitute with a heart of gold. Gallic is slim and blonde and high-breasted, and it was love for both from the first time...
