Noted Hertzog collector Al Lowman wrote this was "regarded by many as the greatest of all the Lea-Hertzog collaborations."  This work provides portraits of twelve strong men who passed through El Paso del Norte, each of whom might be considered symbolic of the character required to make possible El Paso, the city at the Pass of the North.
