Joaquin Murrieta: Literary Fiction or Historical Fact?\nBy William Mero\n\nThe popular legend of Joaquin Murrieta is that of a peace loving man driven to seek revenge when he and his brother were falsely accused of stealing a mule. His brother was hung and Joaquin horsewhipped. His young wife was gang raped and in one version she died in Joaquin’s arms. Swearing revenge, Joaquin hunted down all who had violated his sweetheart. He embarked on a short but violent career that brought death to his Anglo tormentors. The state of California then offered a reward of up to $5000 for Joaquin "dead or alive." In the end Joaquin was hunted down, killed and mutilated by a drunken brute of a man, Harry Love. \n\nThis is the tale that a sometimes newspaperman and poet, John Rollin Ridge, wrote in 1854, a year after Joaquin’s death. John Ridge was a part Cherokee Indian who fled to California after killing a man in Arkansas. Borrowing from newspaper reports from the gold camps, he created a romantic story of lust and revenge starring the recently dead bandit, Joaquin Murrieta, as the victim of biased society. \n\nAfter Ridge’s book was published, it was rumored that Joaquin had not been killed but returned to Mexico. Even more fantastic was the story that he returned mortally wounded to Niles Canyon (part of Contra Costa County in 1853) where he died and was buried beneath the family adobe. In 1986 the adobe floor was even excavated in an unsuccessful attempt to find Murrieta’s bones. \n\nOn one hand we have the popular belief exemplified by the famous histories of Hubert Howe Bancroft who legitimized the Ridge version of Joaquin as a daring Mexican Robin Hood. We also have modern historians who charge that the real Murrieta was a vicious killer and thug. \n\nWhat can we make of all this? Can we find a general consensus after examining the known facts? Joseph Henry Jackson in his book, Bad Company (1949), carefully traced the evolution and growth of the Joaquin Murrieta legend around the world. Later researchers including Frank Latta, William B. Secrest, Remi Nadeau, James F. Varley and John Boessenecker uncovered original source materials that clarified this violent chapter in California history. \n\n\nThe Known Historical Record\nInteresting historical parallels exist between the Murrieta – Feliz family and the James – Younger gang. In both cases close relatives formed the core of the outlaw gangs. Both bands were spawned in the economic and political upheaval of a society disrupted by war. The gangs were sheltered and protected by citizens who were threatened by the new economic and social order. Strangely, in both cases, it was also newspapermen who built these outlaws into sympathic victims of an unjust society. \n\nWhat are the generally accepted and verified historical facts about Joaquin Murrieta? We know from Church records that Joaquin was born in the southern part of the Mexican state of Sonora in 1830 to Joaquin and Rosalia Murrieta. His mother had been previously married to a man named Carrillo. In later years Joaquin sometimes called himself Joaquin Carrillo, which led to much confusion and helped create the "many Joaquins" theory. The young Joaquin eventually married Rosa Feliz of Vayoreca. They, along with Jesus Murrieta and Rosa’s three brothers, went to California upon news of the gold strike. Rosa’s brother, Claudio Feliz, began gold mining with Anglo partners near Sonora while Joaquin and his bride eventually moved to Niles Canyon, then part of Contra Costa County. In these early years there is evidence that Joaquin worked as a vaquero near Oakley and Brentwood in 1850 and as a mestenero (mustang catcher). \n\nFrom court records and newspaper accounts, the first we hear of the Murrieta - Feliz clan’s brush with the law was in 1849 when Claudio was arrested for stealing another miner’s gold. The evidence of his guilt proved overwhelming. However Claudio was able to escape from the St

Fort Sill, Oklahoma\n\nGeronimo\nby Sierra\n\n\n\n \n\nGoyahkla aka Geronimo (1829-1909)\n\n\n\nPortrait done by artist Gary Saderup\n\n\n\nIn the annals of American history, there is possibly no greater legend than Geronimo.   He was not a man of superhuman strength or power, and he was no medicine man or chief, as some believe.  He was an ordinary man with extraordinary vision, an ability to look deep into his soul and meet all adversity head-on.  He never wavered in his desire to live free, or die trying.  During his lifetime, he became a stranger in his own land, hunted by white man and Apache alike.  When finally forced to surrender, he found himself banished forever.  His story is the most heroic and tragic in the history of the Southwest.    \n\n"None had lost as I had, for I had lost all." Geronimo’s words and his vows of vengeance may have been the beginning of his rise to leadership, but only his courage and cunning kept him strong in the eyes of his people.  No other man has written his name so fiercely on the history of the land.  Lied to and betrayed by his white adversaries, he still remained a man of integrity, keeping his word once it was given.  He was wary and distrustful of everyone, even among his own people, yet he was known to be kind and affectionate to his family and friends.  His suspicions were real, and his judgments unbending, but it was his unrelenting hatreds which guided his thought.  He was a legend in his own time.  \n\nMention the word 'Apache,' and Geronimo comes to mind.  He was born Goyahkla, and some claim this translates to "One Who Yawns," although many, including modern Apaches, say otherwise.  His family was the Bedonkohe branch of the Chiricahua Nation. He gave his own birth date as June 1829, but he was almost certainly born before that. His place of birth is still in question, but it is known to be located near the headwaters of the Gila River, possibly near present-day Clifton, Arizona. At the time of his birth, this area was part of Mexico. Much later, the Fort Sill Apaches would suggest his birth name meant "intelligent, shrewd, clever," descriptions which aptly suited him all his adult life.\n\nHis own family was small, but like all Apaches, Geronimo counted all his relatives as his "brothers." Chief Juh of the Nedhai band in Sonora was a true brother-in-law, as was Chief Nana of the Warm Springs band. When he later married a niece of Cochise, Geronimo acquired not only the greatest Apache leader in history as his uncle, but also Chief Mangas Coloradas of the Mimbreno band as another uncle. His closest "brothers" were Naiche, Victorio, Loco, and Chihauhau, all famous war chiefs in their time. All these men figured prominently in Apache history. Throughout his life, Geronimo’s family ties would always be very strong.\n\nGeronimo’s war with Mexico most likely started in 1835 when the Mexican state of Sonora, in an all-out effort to rid the Sierra Madres of the Nedhai band, passed a law offering one hundred pesos (roughly equal to one American dollar) for every scalp of an Apache warrior. Two years later, the state of Chihuahua set a scale of one hundred pesos for a warrior’s scalp, fifty for a woman’s, and twenty-five for a child’s. Many white mercenaries killed Apaches in the United States and took the scalps into Mexico for the bounty. It became increasingly dangerous for any Apache to live anywhere in Apacheria. With his first wife Alope, his mother Juana, and three children to support, Geronimo moved into the Big and Little Burro Mountains area of Arizona, where he met the magnificent Mimbreno leader, Mangas Coloradas, father-in-law of the famous Cochise. Geronimo formed a deep and lasting friendship with the Mimbreno chief.\n\nBy the summer of 1850, Geronimo and his Bedonkohe adherents had come under the full leadership and protection of Mangas Coloradas. On a trading trip to Casa Grandes, with the great ch

Lucrezia (or Lucrecia) Borgia (April 14, 1480 - June 24, 1519) was the daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, the powerful Renaissance Valencian who would later become Pope Alexander VI and Vannozza dei Cattani. Her brother was the notorious despot Cesare Borgia. \nLucrezia’s family later came to epitomise the ruthless Machiavellian politics and sexual corruption alleged to be characteristic of the Renaissance Papacy. \nNot enough is known about the historical Lucrezia to be certain whether any of the stories about her active involvement in her father’s and brother’s crimes are true. \nHer father and/or brother certainly arranged several marriages for her to important or powerful men, in order to advance their own political ambitions. Lucrezia was married to Giovanni Sforza (Lord of Pesaro), Alfonso of Aragon, Duke of Bisceglie, and Alphonso d’Este (Prince of Ferrara) - at different times. Tradition has it that the middle of those husbands was an illegitimate son of the King of Naples and that Cesare may have had him murdered after his political value waned.\n...But the Mafia, which is referred to in Italian as Cosa Nostra (lit. Our Thing), was a secret criminal association which evolved much later, and only in mid-19th century Sicily.\n ...How could a goody-goody ‘nice girl’ like Lucrezia (of the 15th century) have been a part of it - and also a ‘princess’ as well ?! \nHave a heart, Panama !
