A Ride through Mexico:
This would be a novel about the chase for Poncho Villa. Act one is the set up. Character intro and such. Act two the Battle of Columbus. Act three the pursuit into Mexico culminating in the battle of Parral where an American cavalry company shot its way out of an ambush. The epilogue would show the U.S. Army skulking out of Mexico.
A Ride through Mexico would focus on one character without all the jumping from scene to scene I usually write about. Along the way the reader could meet John J. Pershing, George Patton (who actually got into an old fashioned wild west gun fight in Mexico) and a host of other.
Damn, a good idea.
But who has the time?
