The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta
''The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit'' was originally published in 1854 by John Rollin Ridge, writing as "Yellow Bird". It is considered to be one of the first novels written in California and the first novel to be published by a Native American.〔Allmendinger 1998, p. 33〕 The novel describes the life of a legendary bandit named Joaquín Murieta who, once a dignified citizen of Mexico, becomes corrupt after traveling to California during the Gold Rush. The book was originally published as a fictional biography, but was taken as truth by many historians of the time.〔Parins 2004, p. 95〕 The novel received mass attention and was translated to various European languages, including French and Spanish.〔Parins 2004, p. 107〕 Unfortunately, the novel was highly plagiarized and Ridge never received the economic gain he hoped for.〔Parins 2004, p. 112〕
