| Summary | "Over the Border: A Novel" by Herman Whitaker is a work of fiction likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a rugged and romantic landscape of Mexico near the American border, focusing on a trio of outlaws known as the "Three Bad Men." The narrative captures their adventures and confrontations in a land marked by revolution, rustling, and crossing borders, while exploring themes of survival, loyalty, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the Three Bad Men—Sliver Smith, Bull Perrin, and Jake Evers—who have established their hideout in a desolate region of the Mexican desert. The narrative vividly illustrates their characters and lifestyle against the harsh backdrop of the environment, where they face both internal conflicts and external threats. The relationships between the men, along with the tensions that arise from their interactions with local inhabitants and the ongoing revolutionary chaos, set the stage for the unfolding events. As the opening progresses, their misadventures lead them to the Mexican town of Las Bocas, emphasizing the camaraderie and complications inherent in their outlaw existence.
