Présentation de l'éditeur

Eagles of El Capitan is the story of a rescue from the Comancheros and Pancho Villa. Setting in the late 1800's in the rough mountains of the border lands of Mexico and west Texas, a broken family comes back together to rescue their captured father in Mexico and return him back to Texas. The oldest son, Tall Eagle, that had been stolen and raised by the Indians and daughter, Sandtana, that had joined the Pancho Villa revolutionary movement in Mexico, joins their younger brother, Lane, from Texas to attempt the rescue under tremendous hardships and dangers. The brutality of the Comanchero leader and his giant henchman is offset by the kindness of an old Negro retired army sergeant and the Apache Indians scounts.
