520 | _aGrace Knight's elegant old hotel, the Colonial, on Cuernavaca's main plaza is the place to see and be seen. Mexico's landed aristocracy, members of the foreign community, young army officers and their wives, and wealthy tourists arrive by train and carriage. Under the ballroom's hundreds of twinkling lights, they dance to old Spanish tunes and to the new beat of ragtime. Outside the city, in the shadows of the valley's two volcanoes, a company of federal soldiers raids the hacienda of Miguel Sanchez. They're hunting for men sympathetic to the cause of the charismatic rebel leader Emiliano Zapata, but they're not particular about who they shoot. In a hailstorm of rifle fire, Angela Sanchez's life takes a horrifying turn. After the soldiers leave, she returns to the ruins of her family's home. She collects her father's old Winchester carbine, gathers the workers who survived, and rides off in search of Zapata's Liberating Army of the South. | ||
