Description
"Joaquín Murrieta no era un justiciero, pero la gente lo creyó así; no luchó por la libertad ni para defender a su gente de la ambición estadounidense, sino que se convirtió en un símbolo de resistencia en momentos en los que la muerte recorría los caminos de California. Esta es la historia real del antihéroe mexicano que se propuso ser «el azote de los gringos» durante la fiebre del oro, repartió el botín de sus atracos con los más necesitados y dio origen al mito del Zorro. El reconocido escritor Alejandro Rosas reconstruye, a partir de una minuciosa investigación que retoma documentos de la época, este auténtico western sobre la vida, tragedia y muerte de un personaje desconocido que marcó la cultura popular para siempre." --,page 4 of the cover
Description
"Joaquín Murrieta was not a vigilante, but people believed him that way; he did not fight for freedom or to defend his people from American ambition, but rather he became a symbol of resistance at times when death walked the roads of California. This is the true story of the Mexican antihero who set out to be "the scourge of the gringos" during the gold rush. He shared the loot from his robberies with those most in need and gave rise to the myth of Zorro. The renowned writer Alejandro Rosas reconstructs, based on meticulous research that uses documents from the time, this authentic story of the west about the life, tragedy and death of an unknown character who marked popular culture forever." --,cataloger's translation
