In 1924, Achilles Mehault Mayo Bessan and his eighteen-year-old bride journeyed from New Orleans to Mexico, where he ultimately transformed a dirt-floored cantina in Nuevo Laredo into a bar and restaurant renowned across the United States for its fine seafood and fancy cocktails. The Cadillac Bar built a reputation as one of the finest eateries and watering holes in the Southwest, even surviving a 1954 flood that devastated cities on both sides of the Rio Grande. Its history sprawls across more than a half-century and its food and drink drew inspiration from the culinary traditions of southern Louisiana, from pre-Prohibition New Orleans, and from the dusty border towns that straddle the Rio Grande in far South Texas.In her introduction, author Wanda Garner Cash writes, I grew up behind the bar: first child and first grandchild. I spoke Spanish before I spoke English and I learned my numbers counting coins at my grandfathers desk . . . I rode Pancho Villas saddle on a sawhorse in the main dining room, with a toy six-shooter in my holster. I fed the monkeys and parrots my grandfather kept in the Cadillacs parking lot. Readers will find themselves drawn to a different, more languid time: when Laredo society matrons passed long afternoons in the bar, sipping Ramos Gin Fizzes; when fraternity miscreants slouched into the Cadillac to recover from adventures South of the Border; when tourists waited in long lines for 40-cent tequila sours and plates of chicken envueltos.Step into the Cadillac Bar and take a seat. Youll want to stay awhile.

Wheteher you are pre-teen, promising Junior, middle-aged beginner, housewife, businessman or woman, twelve or twenty or seventy, this is the only book you'll ever need to play -- and win.

La toma de Zacatecas fue un hito de la Revolución Mexicana En junio de 1914, la División del Norte, comandada por el general Francisco Villa, logró hacerse de esta ciudad venciendo a las fuerzas del entonces presidente Victoriano Huerta, lo que despejó el camino hacia la Ciudad de México a las huestes revolucionarias Después de esta dura batalla, los federales ya no se pudieron recuperar Con guión de Paco Ignacio Taibo II, y crudamente recreado por los grabados y dibujos de Eko, esta novela gráfica relata no sólo uno de los momentos más álgidos de la Revolución sino que retrata en acción a uno de los héroes más queridos del México contemporáneo

In 1910 a revolt breaks out in Mexico that, over the course of just a few years, will change the face of the nation. Among the popular leaders of this movement is Pancho Villa, who embodies the epic of Mexico in flames. A man of the northern desert regions, he organizes an army that will become legendary, administers immense expanses of territory, and challenges the power of the United States. He seizes the property of large landowners, understands the anxiety of the poor, becomes an advocate for the lower classes, and seems on the brink of controlling the entire country. But as is true of many other revolutionary leaders, Villa's parabola reaches its nadir when opposing forces gain the upper hand in the military and political spheres. While he retires in 1920 to private life, Villa cannot evade the chain of revenge that hits him, as well as other losers and winners of the revolution, such as Madero, Zapata, Carranza, and Obregon. Once the protagonists of this epic story have all disappeared, it becomes evident how their contributions helped create a new nation.

A biography of the turn-of-the-century Mexican outlaw who helped overthrow the Diaz government in the Revolution of 1910.

Aqui se cuenta la vida de un hombre que solia despertarse, casi siempre, en un lugar diferente del que originalmente habia elegido para dormir. Tenia este extrano habito porque mas de la mitad de su vida adulta, 17 anos de los 30 que vivio antes de sumarse a una revolucion, habia sido profugo de la justicia, bandolero, ladron, asaltante de caminos, cuatrero. Y tenia miedo de que la debilidad de las horas de sueno fuera su perdicion.'' Esta es la biografia de Pancho Villa, uno de los mas grandes revolucionarios mexicanos, escrita por Paco Ignacio Taibo II, implacable novelista e historiador, quien se dio a la titanica tarea de narrarnos la vida del ''Centauro del Norte''. La travesia de Villa, temeraria y desmedida, saturada de hechos heroicos y tragicos, siempre ha sido un simbolo atemporal de la Revolucion mexicana. Este libro, escrito con el estilo vibrante de Taibo II, relata las peripecias -desde los detalles mas extravagantes hasta los momentos mas trascendentes- de un hombre sagaz, abstemio, de mirada magnetica, cuya unica ley era la que se daba a si mismo. Esta biografia narrativa es fiel al espiritu villista: ''Se usa primero esta -decia Pancho senalando la cabeza- y luego estos -tomandose los testiculos''. Pancho Villa retrata inmejorablemente a un complejo personaje que siempre logro escaparse del sistema, hasta despues de muerto.
