'''Joaquin Murrieta Carrillo''' (sometimes spelled '''Murieta''' or '''Murietta''') (c. 1829 – c. July 25, 1853), also called the Mexican Robin Hood or the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was a famous figure in California during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s. Depending on the point of view, he was considered as either an infamous bandit or a Mexican patriot.

In 1919 Johnston McCulley supposedly received his inspiration for his fictional character Don Diego de la Vega better known as Zorro from the 1854 book entitled ''The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murrieta, The Celebrated California Bandit'' by John Rollin Ridge. John heard about a Mexican miner who had turned to banditry and was intrigued by the story.
