The Daybreakers (1960)
“The fact remains that these folks want law enforced against killers but without killing. The Mexicans ... they understand the situation better than the Americans. They know that when a man takes a weapon in hand he isn't going to put it down if you hand him a bunch of roses.
Men of violence only understand violence, most times." Orrin rode into town and for two days I stayed by the place, working around. I cleared rocks using a couple of mules and a stone boat. I dragged the rocks off and piled... them where they could be used later in building a stable. Next day I rode into town, and it looked like I'd timed things dead right.

"Tou should have heard those Spanish men yell". Didn't L'amour, just a few pages back state clearly that these men were NOT Spanish, but Basque, which is a separate race, in a separate part of the country, contiguous with Spain, actually between France and Spain, although attached to Spain, are autonomous.Write Review:
