The Robin Hood of the Rio Grande

The Robin Hood of the Rio Grande: "Juan Nepomuceno Cortina has been described by the Texas folklorist J. Frank Dobie as 'the most striking, the most powerful, the most insolent, and the most daring as well as the most elusive Mexican bandit, not even excepting Pancho Villa, that ever wet his horses in the muddy water of the Rio Bravo'; in Mexican and Tejano culture he is considered a heroic figure who fought against the injustices and blatant racism of the Anglo-Americans.
