"An action-packed blend of folk tale, romance, epic, and myth, The Life and Adventures of Joaqu�in Murieta tells the story of the Gold Rush-era bandit Joaqu�in 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 2,000 outlaws--including the sadistic "Three-Fingered Jack"--who take revenge by murdering, stealing horses, and robbing miners, all with the ultimate goal of reconquering California."--Provided by publisher.
