involve a portrait of my mother and a third Mexican Red story.
As a young man I had my western heroes, mostly in the movies. But my favorite one of all never made it to film that I am aware of. It's Max Brand's Silvertip. I think I read the whole series but it's also possible I missed a few. In my own way, Mexican Red is a tribute to Max Brand and Silvertip. Not a copy by any means. Silvertip was straight-arrow all the way. Red is an outlaw who often does good things. Silvertip may be an inch or two higher than Red, but physically Red is his match. All fun writing.
