The General And The Jaguar (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
His columns galloped on, fluid fingers moving parallel to each other, detouring frequently to search villages and ranches, hoping to catch the wily guerrilla leader before he disappeared forever. They passed looted haciendas, where the corpses of vaquero soldados filled the arroyos, and the few chickens and hogs that had not been butchered roamed the fields. The Americans searched house after house, proceeding ever more cautiously after having been directed to several homes that allegedly harbored Villistas only to find men suffering from smallpox. Like Colonel Dodd and the men of the Seventh, the other columns also made arduous night marches, appearing in the dawn light on the outskirts of sleeping villages only to find their quarry had vanished or, even more frustrating, that they had deliberately been given false information. The commanders of the provisional columns were skilled counterinsurgency fighters and their bleary eyes wandered restlessly over the brush and rock looking for the telltale scuff and half-moons of horseshoes.
