'Until that moment Diego had not been conscious of his dual personalit y, one part Diego de la Vega, elegant, affected, hypochondriac, and th e other part El Zorro, audacious, daring, playful.'Born in southern Ca lifornia late in the 18th century, he is a child of two worlds. Diego de la Vega's father is an aristocratic Spanish military man turned lan downer; his mother, a Shoshone warrior. Diego learns from his maternal grandmother, White Owl, the ways of her tribe while receiving from hi s father lessons in the art of fencing and in cattle branding. It is h ere, during Diego's childhood, filled with mischief and adventure, tha t he witnesses the brutal injustices dealt Native Americans by Europea n settlers and first feels the inner conflict of his heritage. At the age of sixteen, Diego is sent to Barcelona for a European education. I n a country chafing under the corruption of Napoleonic rule, Diego fol lows the example of his celebrated fencing master and joins 'La Justic ia,' a secret underground resistance movement devoted to helping the p owerless and the poor. With these tumultuous times as backdrop, Diego falls in love, saves the persecuted, and confronts for the first time a great rival who emerges from the world of privilege. Between Califor nia and Barcelona, the New World and the Old, the persona of Zorro is formed, a great hero is born and the legend begins. After many adventu res-duels at dawn, fierce battles with pirates at sea, and impossible rescues-Diego de la Vega, a.k.a. Zorro, returns to America to reclaim the hacienda on which he was raised and to seek justice for all who ca nnot fight for it themselves
