In an era when every man was his own arbiter of justice, Murrieta rose as a desperate champion of the rights of native Californians (Mexicans) against the illegal encroachments of the new American settlers. He balked at nothing: wholesale murder, rape, arson, grand thievery; but legend has him as gallant as he was ruthless. For three years no American in California could feel safe from his vengeance. He and his band are known to have more than 500 murders on their record.A vast lot of stories have been told about Murrieta, some true, some fabulous.
