Johnston McCulley

Black Grandee Johnston McCulley

In the early 1800s, California - with its warmth, its romance, its peaceful beauties - was still under Spanish rule. While the legend of Zorro grew, stirring the hearts of Californians, this sprawling state was a land of opportunity and adventure - and, oft-times, great danger.

Two stories by the creator of Zorro:

"Black Grandee" - Down the King's High Road he came, swift and unsuspected as the evil he would do, bearing the warrant of the Crown for the vengeance that spurred him on.

"Satan's Caballero" - an additional short story of Old California! Honor demanded that Don Fernando challenge Marcos Coudillo, but his own death warrant would be written the next time he crossed blades with any man!
