Curse Of Capistrano

Curse of Capistrano

by Johnston McCulley

The Curse of Capistrano, originally published as "The Mark of Zorro," introduces the iconic masked vigilante Zorro. Don Diego Vega, a wealthy gentleman, leads a double life as the mysterious Zorro, a champion of the downtrodden in Spanish California. While fighting for justice, he finds himself entangled in a romantic pursuit of the beautiful Lolita, a young woman whose father favors a more suitable, but less captivating, suitor. The story unfolds with thrilling swordplay, daring escapes, and a passionate love story, all set against the backdrop of a corrupt and oppressive Spanish regime. Sergeant Gonzales, a persistent lawman, becomes Zorro's relentless adversary, adding to the tension and intrigue of this classic adventure.
