Illustrated by
Jos. A. Smith.
Orphaned Annyrose Smith, twelve when she is left with a heartless swindler during the California gold rush, manages to escape, only to be gathered up by infamous outlaw Joaqu_n Murieta. The characters of Joaqu_n, a Mexican Robin Hood, and Annyrose, spunky but thoughtful, clothe issues of loyalty and honesty in a roaring adventure story, smartly written and chock full of humor and derring-do.
