Roger Raffee | 1 comments Hello Group,

I wrote a book that I believe would have great significance with regards to this year's Presidential election. I think it would add greatly to a discussion of immigration between Mexico and the USA.

It is a fascinating wild ride of a book dealing with the first Jewish Texas Ranger navigating his way through the old west and dealing with relations between Mexicans and Anglo-Americans in the old west. It provides the reader with an idea of how relations between Mexico and the USA developed in the 1800s. It carries through to the Mexican Revolution in 1910, and the early days of Hollywood. It is a novelization of a true story. There is some violence, and references to sexual situations. Not too graphic. If it were a movie it might be on the border between a PG-13 and a R rating.

     Here is the brief synopsis I posted with the book:

     In the summer of 1973, a fourteen year old kid spends time with his grandfather and his friends, George Burns, Jack Benny, Georgie Jessel, and others, as they play cards at the Hillcrest Country Club near Beverly Hills, California. He later sits down to listen as his grandfather tells him the action-packed tale of his great-grandfather, the first Jewish Texas Ranger, and how his grandfather came to Hollywood to become one of the pioneers of the movie industry.
       The young man learns about how his grandfather came to be friends with the early stars of the silver screen, like Tom Mix, William S. Hart, Lionel Barrymore, and Doug Fairbanks, and his grandfather's association with the great Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa, the famous lawman Wyatt Earp, and other fascinating characters.

Thank you,

-Roger Raffee
