Joaquín Murrieta. To the Mexican people, he was a heroic patriot looking after their welfare. To the wealthy Gringos who owned California's prosperous gold mines, he was a notorious bandit and murderer. He sought his fortune during the 1850s Gold Rush, wishing to raise a family, only to be confronted with prejudice and hatred that escalated to violence and death.
With a band of loyal men and woman willing to kill and die for him, Joaquín took merciless vengeance against his persecutors, slaughtering the miners and settlers who dared claim his people's land. California Rangers eventually caught and executed him without trial, preserving his head in a jar with the severed hand of his fellow outlaw Three Fingers Jack, to be displayed as a trophy in traveling exhibitions.
But Joaquín's revenge could not be extinguished even in death…
"Full of adventure, history, and passion, this tale delivers an exciting ride through the Gold Rush with a singular hero." – Kirkus Review
