    Del Norte Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion and his junior deputy, Henry "Stringbean" McCallister, run down an especially violent as well as beguiling outlaw in the pretty form of Mathilda Calderon. The senorita is just one pretty girl, but she fights like a leg-trapped puma, leaving Mannion with an arm full of buckshot and Stringbean hurting where a man just shouldn't be attacked, gallblastit! 
     
     
     
    Senorita Calderon is wanted not only for aiding and abetting the commission of a federal crime but to testify in a court trial against her boyfriend, the notorious border bandito and revolutionario, Diego Hidalgo, who stole three Gatling guns from the US Army, wiping out a dozen soldiers in the deadly process. Hidalgo and three members of his gang were captured by the Army. The US Marshal for the Southwestern District has sent three deputy US marshals to retrieve the senorita from Del Norte, and to escort her to Tucson.

    Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton was born on the 25th May 1803 the youngest of three sons. 
     
    When he was four his father died and the family moved to London. As a child he was delicate and neurotic and failed to fit in at a number of boarding schools.  However, he was academically and creatively precocious and published his first work as a teenager; ‘Ishmael with Other Poems’ in 1820. 
     
    Two years later he was at Cambridge University and won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for English verse for Sculpture.  
     
    In 1828 his novel, ‘Pelham’, brought him an income, together with commercial and critical success.  He followed these with a string of applauded works across several genres: historical fiction, mystery, romance, the occult, science fiction and poetry.  
     
    In 1841, he started the semi-scientific Monthly Chronicle magazine to exploit the great Victorian fascination to chronicle and publish all that the Empire and Industrial Revolution were discovering, inventing and changing. 
     
    In 1858 he entered Lord Derby's government as Secretary of State for the Colonies and took a keen interest in the development of the Crown Colony of British Columbia.  Several years later he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lytton of Knebworth in Hertford County. 
     
    Bulwer-Lytton had long suffered with a disease of the ear and for the last years of his life he lived in Torquay nursing his health.  An operation to cure his deafness caused an abscess to form in his ear which burst causing intense pain and contributed to his death.   
     
    Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton died on the 18th January 1873, in Torquay.  He was 69.
