I second that! I found a copy on Ebay and it is a fascinating story. It peaked a desire in me to learn more about the places he wrote about.

Pinto, the donkey part cracked me up......

I just looked and there is a copy on Ebay Item#380196107727 Just in case someone is interested. It's even signed by the author for 14.99 free shipping.

Terry, I enjoyed that part but was really interested reading about the pride of lions he would feed and the herd of elk on the beach.

Pinto,, yes, i agree that was good

I was given a copy of this book by Leonardo Gonzales in the late 70's. He told me fantastic stories of going with him to chase his dream. Leonardo is long gone now but the history of this and Al Capone live on in his stories. I will always remember! I am sooooo blessed to have both my lives... half in the US and half in Mexico.........
