Description
Portrait of Tiburcio Vasquez, a notorious bandit who raided rich estates in the Southland for years. Vasquez and his gang raided Repetto's ranch, however Repetto had no cash, so he sent his nephew for cash. His nephew returned with lawmen who captured and later hanged Vasquez. A rumor circulated that Vasquez hid $40,000 in gold on Repetto's ranch, however the gold was never found.
