The Story of Jacob Walker "El Diablo con Pistola" is a fiction but Jacob could have been any ones grandfather, an individual of very believable qualities, not a super hero of bronze or steel but a man who bleed when wounded, felt pain in his heart at the loss of a loved one or a need for revenge when those he loved were wronged. The story starts with Jacob, a fun loving twelve year old leaving Texas with his family and friends, heading west looking for more elbow room and follows his life's journey with the women that he loves and the magnificent horses that he raises and races. Along the way he learns that it is necessary to fight sometimes for what is his and what he believes in.Jacob's story does not stop at New Mexico or California but covers much of the western United States. It is set in a time that has been cast as romantic and maybe it was but it was also brutal for a few caught at the wrong moment or place, a place called "The Old West".So come along with me, saddle your horse, be prepared to roll your bedroll out on the hard and cold ground at the end of a day's work and by all means don't hesitate to look over your shoulder for that Indian outlaw or grizzle bear that is stalking you. If you are lucky, you may live to return home to the arms of a loved one and watch the sun set and if the night doesn't bring something to turn your hair white maybe you will see the sunrise. If you survive you will ride the fastest horses in the west and experience the west as it once was.
