Taking his title, Pasó Por Aquí, from Juan de Oñate's carving in the living rock of El Morro, New Mexico, Eugene Manlove Rhodes created his own memorial to the decent people of his world who had "passed this way" without fanfare.   Rhodes wrote about them with wit, gusto, and tenderness, with honesty, clarity, and a sureness of interpretation as yet unequaled. He captured for all time the free, lonely, self-reliant, skilled, eternally optimistic essence of his West.   Rhodes himself rode a brindle steer, fleeing from an irate sheriff, as his story hero McEwen does, and Rhodes made seven miles on his bovine mount before the beast "sulled" on him. Rhodes was also a volunteer nurse in a diphtheria pest house when El Garrotillo (the strangler) was the most feared disease in the isolated West.   Pat Garrett appears here under his own name and in a favorable light--Rhodes's way of rebutting what he considered unfair disparagement of Garrett by other writers. The story was filmed in 1948 as Four Faces West, starring Joel McCrea in the lead and Charles Bickford as Pat Garrett.   Eugene Manlove Rhodes was one of the great writers of the Western, and this is his most anthologized story. Students of western history and American literature, and everyone who loves tales of the Old West will enjoy this Rhodes classic.… (mehr)

Rhodes, Eugene Manlove (1973). Pasó Por Aquí. University of Oklahoma Press.
The Spanish title translates to 'passed by here,' an excerpt from a 1605 inscription by explorer Don Juan de Oñate at El Morro, NM (Now part of a national park). The title hints of the author's subtle cleverness in fashioning this Western classic. The tale begins with nurse Jay from the East chatting with a male friend on the portico of the Alamogorda Hospital. In her words, she is "homesick! I'm heartsick, bankrupt, shipwrecked, lost, forlorn - - here in this terrible country, among these dreadful people." A short time later, readers are swept along for a ride south, southeast with the red-headed Ross McEwen, who has just robbed a bank in Bolan, NM. He wears out his first horse, borrows / switches to a fresh mount, and finally when this one is played out, he throws his saddle and gear onto the back of a steer. McEwen has a wild ride and goes for several more miles before the unusual mount balks; enough distance to temporarily throw pursuers off his trail. Finally afoot, McEwen comes across a Mexican family's cabin, and finds all deathly ill with diphtheria. Knowing he is still being pursued and will likely be captured, McEwen recognizes that he is their only hope.

The final chapters of this short novel, bring the hero bandit McEwen in contact with Nurse Jay Hollister and lawman Pat Garrett. The book was the basis for the 1948 movie "Four Faces West" starring Joel McCrea. This is a must read for anyone seriously interested in the genre of Westerns. lj (Feb 2011). ( )
