Beschreibung:
"First there was Jubal Troop which was a super western; then The Trampling Herd which was a factual record, exciting as any fiction, of the cattle industry. Now comes Angel with Spurs, again a super-western in its appeal, though the story has a presumably factual historic base, the pattern of a western overlaid with a patina of history. General Shelby, Confederate Army, planned to offer his brigade and other escaped troops to first Juarez, and—when that was voted down by his men—to the French under Maximilian. But Maximilian turned down his offer. So much for the historical basis. Into this is woven the adventure-romance of a Missouri girl who must get to Mexico, a renegade desperado and a soldier. Grand entertainment escape." —Kirkus Reviews
