Vida y Aventuras Del Mas Celebre Bandido Sonorense Joaquin Murrieta

In its original Spanish, the dime-novelesque biography recounts the life of Joaquin Murrieta, for decades a source of fear and legend in the state of California. To Mexicans and Indians, he became a symbol of resistance to the displacement and oppression visited on them in the wake of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Ireneo Paz’s spanish-language biography was first published in Mexico City in 1904.
