Publisher's Synopsis
The fascinating story of the long lost handwritten journal of the fictional Lt. Colonel Thomas Ivory McIvor, U.S. Army. Lost for nearly a century, the ancient notebook contains the day-by-day entries of the young McIvor as he travels to the Rio Grande in the exciting time just prior to the Mexican Revolution as well as his later tour of duty with the ill-fated Punitive Expedition into Mexico in 1916. General John J. Pershing is among the many historical figures he meets in Mexico, a list that includes the already flamboyant George S. Patton and, of course, the charismatic Pancho Villa. Based on extensive research, this book colorfully brings to life a tumultuous time that shaped today's often troubled relationship between Mexico and the United States.
