Description
A child of two worlds--the son of an aristocratic Spanish military man turned landowner and a Shoshone warrior woman--young Diego de la Vega cannot silently bear the brutal injustices visited upon the helpless in late-eighteenth-century California. And so a great hero is born--skilled in athleticism and dazzling swordplay, his persona formed between the Old World and the New--the legend known as Zorro.
