Bosque Bonito is a first-hand account written by Robert "Bob" Keil, 
a U.S. cavalryman stationed in the Big Bend during the violent years 
of the Mexican Revolution. From 1913 to 1918, Keil lived in the 
borderlands along the Rio Grande in the wild and primitive Big Bend 
country of West Texas. After 1918, Keil remained in the Big Bend to 
work as a Civil Service packer on the pack trains. Keil's writing offers 
a different perspective of the Brite Ranch raid, the Porvenir massacre,
and the Nevill raid as well as the pursuit of bandits into Mexico.
