About the Book
The banditry of the notorious Joaquin Murrieta was so widespread and devastating to California's development and growth in the early 1850's that the State Legislature empowered for the first and only time in its history a Ranger Company of 21 men, led by Mexican War hero Harry Love, and gave them just 90 days to end the banditry. They almost failed.
