\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The first novel to feature a Mexican American hero: an adventure tale about Mexicans rising up against U.S. rule in California<\/a>, based on the real-life bandit who inspired the creation of Zorro<\/a>, the Lone Ranger<\/a>, and Batman<\/a><\/p>\n

With a new foreword by Diana Gabaldon, the #1 New York Times<\/em> bestselling author of the Outlander<\/em> series<\/a><\/p>\n

An action-packed blend of folk tale, romance, epic, and myth, The Life and Adventures of Joaqu\u00edn Murieta<\/em> tells the story of the Gold Rush<\/a>-era Mexican immigrant Joaqu\u00edn Murieta<\/a>, 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 2,000 outlaws\u2013including the sadistic \u201cThree-Fingered Jack<\/a>\u201d\u2013who take revenge by murdering, stealing horses, and robbing miners, all with the ultimate goal of reconquering California.<\/p>\n

The first novel written by a Native American and the first novel published in California, The Life and Adventures of Joaqu\u00edn Murieta<\/em> speaks to the ways in which ethical questions of national security and racialized police violence have long been a part of U.S. history. This edition features excerpts from popular rewritings of the novel, including Johnston McCulley\u2019s<\/a> first novel about Zorro, The Curse of Capistrano<\/em><\/a> (also known as The Mark of Zorro<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
