The 1st in a series of (4) novels
The Journalist of the Magdalena
A story of the War of the Thousand Days
The
year is 1899...an heir to a vast family legacy defiantly courts the
daughter of a European settler. Unconven-tional in her view of religion
and local customs, she has a mischievous curiosity for radial politics
and is branded a liberal. Her desire for him brews tension with the
matriarch as Colombia begins its early days in its most bloody civil
war. Family influence gains him rank as a war correspondent in the
Magdalena River valley, but the savagery of war has his pen replaced by
a pistol. Heroics have him sent to the Meta Region, where he encounters
a woman physician. When he returns to Bogota, there is a siege and he
discovers the unthinkable. Teddy Roosevelt clamors for a canal in
Panama, and Ricardo Gomez has led his mounted battalion into the
jungles of the Darien. ISBN-13: 978-0-9815856-3-5 ISBN-10: 0-9815856-3-9
