Jeffrey J. Mariotte's Photo Historical/biographical Western, Sundown Press. "The legend of Joaquin Murrieta is the origin story of the Chicano identity. Before that there were just Mexicans and Americans. This novel crystalizes it for the 21st century, in a way that will satisfy both aficionados of gory shoot'em ups, and scholars of ethnic studies and California history. Going beyond the simple revenge story, it shows how being a messianic folks hero leads to a bloody sacrifice. And still, it somehow manages to pull off a happy ending. Amazing." -- Ernest Hogan, author, "The father of Chicano science fiction." #3864799865531805650
