The Caballero's Way

The Caballero's Way

Why did I link to this? Do you remember at the beginning of The Cisco Kid when the announcer called him "O. Henry's legendary Robin Hood of the Old West"? This is the very O. Henry story which introduced The Kid.

Key facts:

• He was not a nice fellow.
  
• He was not a man of Hispanic origin. His name was Goodall.
  
• He did, however, enjoy killing Mexicans for fun, and he liked shooting at their feet to make them dance.
  
• He was 25, looked 20, and was the size of an undeveloped teenage boy.
  

The story has an interesting little twist ending, as was O. Henry's wont.
