You have seen the movies, now read the book.

In the 1820s in Los Angeles, the Governor and his supporters made life hard for the Caballeros, natives, and monks; even high-born women felt his wrath. Only one brave soul stands up against injustice—that is Zorro the fox. Can he turn the tide and wake the Caballeros, who just want to drink and party, to their true calling as defenders of the people? Or will he eventually get caught and brought to the Governor’s justice as the scoundrel that he is? To spice things up, there is the young Lolita Pulido, who is torn three ways between Don Diego Vega, Capitán Juan Ramon, and Zorro. It is said that once a Pulido gives her heart, she can never love another. Johnston McCulley wrote this story as a series originally titled “The Curse of Capistrano,” and as you read it, you can see where he left a few cliffhangers between chapters. This story will be wrapped up enough that you will not have to buy the next book unless you want to. The wording and descriptions are excellent. And he seems to have lived at the time.
