Description: Octavo, hardcover (red cloth & illus. boards), paper label, uncut, viii + 92 pp. Near-Fine, with darkened spine and foxing to label. From Foreword: Vasquez was surely the cleverest, if not the greatest, stage robber of all time. He operated in a territory as large as the state of Pennsylvania; his hideouts in a part of California then as now thinly settled, and even today not known to more than two percent of its citizens or tourists. From San Jose to Los Angeles, the coast mountains stretch a distance of 350 miles, and a mile high, separating the valleys of Santa Clara and Salinas on one side from the San Joaquin on the other, thinly clad with oak and madrone on the hills, and cottonwood along the small and infrequent streams.
