First Edition
First Edition. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 322 pages; Physical description; xiv, 322 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Contents; The legend and history -- Joaquin and his countrymen as depicted in diaries -- The perspective of the Los Angeles star and La estrella -- Northern newspapers and the politics of bandit hunting -- Joaquin Valenzuela and others in El clamor publico -- Of Tiburcio, Procopio, Mariana, and oral tradition -- Closing thoughts. Summary; After the U.S.-Mexican War, gold was discovered in Northern California, a Mexican territory that had been ceded to the United States. Thousands of Mexican and American citizens traveled to the gold region and soon clashed. The ruling Americans enforced unjust laws that impelled some Mexicans to become bandits, Joaquin Murrieta among them. He became something of a media myth, with a few newspaper editors complaining that he was reportedly seen in two or more counties at once. In 1854 journalist John Rollin Ridge published a book about the legendary Joaquin band, with news accounts providing the foundation for Ridge's story. In one newspaper, Murrieta was quoted as saying he had suffered abuse at the hands of Americans and so was justified in seeking revenge by trampling their laws under foot. Murrieta's justification became an oft-repeated refrain among bandits, one designed to excite sympathy and gain followers. By digging up Spanish sources and revisiting English sources, Lori Lee Wilson discovered previously unrecognized cultural and political forces that shaped the Joaquin band legend. She reveals the roots of an American fear of a Mexican guerrilla band threat in 1850 and the political and societal response to that perceived threat throughout the decade. Wilson also examines how the Joaquin band played in the Spanish-language newspapers of the time and their view of the vigilante response. The Joaquin Band is a fascinating examination of the role of the Joaquin band legend in California and Chicano history and how it was shaped over time. Subjects; Outlaws - California - Biography. Mexicans - California - Biography. Frontier and pioneer life - California. 1 Kg.
