A Summary Of Ultima

Improved Essays
By sunup, Ultima, Gabriel and Tony went to the Agua Negra ranch and helped out an old friend, Tellez. He had reported three evil Indians that disturbed the peace in his territory. The story told from Gabriel drew back to the history of the Agua Negra years ago. He said that the land of Tellez was the land of the Comanche Indians who raided the flocks of Tellez's grandfather. His grandfather gathered other men and hanged the three Indians. They left the body strung to the tree and were never buried. The souls were left to wander around the ranch without any harm to person, although the haunting was not to be blamed to the tortured spirits but the curse of the bruja.
