A California Outlaw Story
Joaquin Murietta and wife Rosita lived with his older brother Carlos in California. The three Mexican immigrants were living on a small, successful farm and the men were also working a claim near Hangtown. However, the other miners living nearby tried to run them off, telling them that it was illegal for Mexicans to pan for gold or hold a claim. The Murietta brother's ignored their threats and continued to live peacefully on their farm and work in the gold-fields.
About a year ago, some family members were visiting from Monterrey, Mexico, and as we were done eating, conversation started about ghosts and aliens. My aunt from Mexico was telling us how my nine-year-old niece would see an old lady by the fireplace for years until they left that house.
