New York Times bestselling author and award-winning historian John Boessenecker--as seen on Netflixs Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War--debunks over 150 years of myth surrounding the Wild Wests most notorious Latino bandit, Joaquin Murrieta n The story of Joaquin Murietta is the stuff of legends--in the face of adversity, the Latino outlaw embarked on a noble career as a rebel, fighting against injustice. He later became popularly known as El Patrio (the Patriot) and the Robin Hood of El Dorado. However, though Joaquin Murietta remains a folk hero to many, his checkered past has been hidden behind layers upon layers of myth--until now. n n Joaquin arrived in the gold mines in 1849, and his brother-in-law, Claudio Feliz, turned to crime, driven by far more sinister ambitions than righteousness. By the following year, Claudio Feliz and Joaquin Murrieta ruled over one of the biggest and bloodiest outlaw gangs of the Old West. Despite Murrietas grisly death, members of his gang continued to raid and kill for more than twenty years thereafter. n nBring Me the Head of Joaquin Murrieta tells the infamous story of Joaquins life, his bloody career and his gruesome fate. With careful research and never-before-told stories of the violent trail Murrieta and his gang left in their wake, award-winning author and definitive Wild West historian John Boessenecker separates fact from fiction in this gripping portrait of the California Gold Rush era, for readers of Tom Clavin and H. W. Brands.n
