The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta Zusammenfassung

The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit John Rollin Ridge

An adventure tale about Mexicans rising up against US rule in California

An action packed blend of folk tale, romance, epic and myth, The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta tells the story of the Gold Rush-era bandit Joaquin Murieta, whose efforts to find fortune and happiness are thwarted by white settlers who murder his family and drive him off his land. In retaliation, Murieta organizes a band of more than 2000 outlaws who take revenge by murdering, stealing horses and robbing miners, all with the ultimate goal of reconquering California.

The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta Bewertungen

Remarkably readable and entertaining ... Offers a window on the real social dynamics - race, culture and prejudices - of the time and may offer grounds for reflection on how much things have changed. Or haven't. -- Diana Gabaldon

John Rollin Ridge (1827-1867), also known as Yellow Bird, was born in Georgia to a Cherokee father, who was murdered by a Cherokee leader for having supported the treaty that led to the Trail of Tears. After killing a man who had stolen his horse, Ridge fled to California, where he identified with Mexican Americans who had been displaced from their land by white settlers. He wrote for the San Francisco Herald and was the first editor of the Sacramento Bee.
