The Mark of Zorro

I finished up reading the original story of Zorro a couple of weeks ago.

First written in 1919 as a series of short stories for a pulp fiction magazine, the stories were compiled and released in book form as The Mark of Zorro. (It was originally known as The Curse of Capistrano.)

I enjoyed reading it, "by the Saints!"

It was a lot of fun to read something that was written a hundred years ago, although the ending of the story was rather a let down. I think if it was a more modern story the ending would have been much different, but se la vie.

Bulls were only mentioned one time, and it was not in a bullfight sense. But there was a lot of talk of haciendas and rancheros, things of that nature.

All in all it was fun to read.
