Description

“Eyes of the Hawk was inspired by an old Texas legend about an embittered father who swore to kill town that had killed his son, and let vengeance turn him into the person he hated so much.” –Elmer Kelton

No one wants you to tamper with a legend, especially by telling the reality.

So begins the tale of a proud man named Thomas Canfield. He’s descended from the earliest Texas pioneers and has inherited their courage and fortitude. To the Mexican citizens of Stonehill, Texas, He’s “El Gavilán”–the Hawk–so known as for the hearth in his eyes, especially when confronted by the likes of Branch Isom. This insolent, dangerous newcomer intends to build his fortune at Canfield’s expense but underestimates his opponent. When a dangerous feud ensues, town of Stonehill heads toward an afternoon of reckoning and the creation of a legend.
