About this product

Product Information

The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta, the Celebrated California Bandit, is a unique book in many ways. In 1854, it was the first vel published in California, and it is also the first vel written by a Native American. Yellow Bird was the son and grandson of famous Cherokee chiefs, and he lived a vigorous and dangerous life as an Indian. But he was also a well-educated and literate man, kwn in the white man's world as John Rollin Ridge. Both a velist and poet, Yellow Bird made his living in California as a newspaperman, ending his short life in Grass Valley as the editor of the Grass Valley National newspaper, of which he was a part owner. He was just forty when he died, but he had lived a fuller life than most. The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta was Yellow Bird's only vel, but it left an enduring mark. It t only sparked a number of kckoffs but also created the enduring myth of Joaquin Murieta. In addition, it was the genesis of the dime vel industry of the late nineteenth-century that persists even today as the paperback Westerns found in every bookstore, newsstand, and even supermarket. It was truly a first in that regard.But it is worth reading for more than those reasons -- it is a colorful and romantic story that fires the imagination of the reader, portraying in uncertain terms what life was like in those times.
