Joaquin Murrieta
The man, the legend...
The man, the legend...
Joaquin Murrieta is a famous historical figure of the
1850's California gold rush era. A miner from
Sonora who moved to California for the gold rush,
Joaquin became an outlaw after being wronged by a
gang of miners. He has been portrayed in a
negative light by some historians, but to many his
legacy stands as an international symbol of
resistance to oppression.
Murrieta was born in 1830 near Caborca, in the
pueblo of Trincheras. A group of his descendants
is working to correct historical inaccuracies
regarding his legacy, and are also doing charitable
works in his name.
