Las Cruces, New Mexico – 1888
Joseph Carrillo sat on his horse, Black Thunder, atop the small hill overlooking his family’s ranch. His grandfather Alejandro Carrillo had been gifted the vast stretch of land by Colonel Stephen Kearny, the commander of the army of the west during the Mexican-American War, almost ten years before Joseph was born.

At the time of his death just six months ago the Carrillo Ranch was the most successful in Las Cruces and Joseph was a very rich young man indeed.
But Joseph’s inheritance had come not only with the loss of his precious father, but also with the addition of sharp-eyed suitors who
