(Murieta, Joaquín, -1853)

Thomas Armstrong, published in the Sacramento Union Steamer Edition on April 22, 1853.

Joaquin Murrieta Carrillo (sometimes misspelled Murieta or Murietta) (c. 1829 – July 25, 1853), also called the Robin Hood of the West or the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was a Mexican figure of disputed historicity. The novel The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit (1854) by John Rollin Ridge is ostensibly his story. (From Wikipedia)
