About
The legend of Elfego Baca begins on December 1, 1884. That was when a self-appointed deputy sheriff named Elfego Baca set out to restore order to the small town of Frisco, near present-day Reserve, New Mexico. Fresh out of detective school, 19 year old Elfego Baca arrests a drunken cowboy who was spoiling for a fight. Baca earns the wrath of the most powerful ranch in New Mexico. Eighty cowboys fire more than 4,000 shots into a small adobe shack where Baca has holed up. During the siege, Baca single-handedly shoots and kills four of his attackers and wounds eight others. Thirty-six hours after it began, Baca Baca is finally acquitted, but that's just the beginning of his amazing story, now retold in this thrilling western saga that recaptures the final days of the rugged Old West.
