Produktbeschreibung
Beginning around the year 1890, a mysterious renegade outlaw terrorized the wild, desert southwest. For nearly thirty years, he stalked the towns, gold mining camps, and ranches along the beautiful Colorado River. He viciously murdered as many as two dozen innocent men, women, and children. The renegade's name was Queho. Although relentlessly pursued by lawmen, posses, and bounty hunters alike, Queho was never apprehended. Like a wild animal with an uncanny ability to disappear into the rugged, inhospitable mountains surrounding the legendary gold-producing Eldorado Canyon, he managed to evade justice, all the while hiding in a remote cave in plain site- an amazing feat considering that Queho had a significant physical disability that made it difficult for him to walk. Queho robbed and stole for survival. He murdered for pleasure. Whether viewed as a notorious villain or as an unfortunate victim of circumstance, Queho was a legend. This is his true story.
