One Bad Hombre: The Legendary True Story of Tiburcio Vásquez

About 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Los Angeles is a natural rock formation known as Vásquez Rocks. Formed around 25 million years ago, they dominate the sparse landscape, their bright reddish hues telling the story of the area's seismic and geological history. But our focus this week isn't on the formation, but the man whose name now graces it. Few figures in the days of California's Wild West cast as big a shadow as Tiburcio Vásquez. You'll definitely want to hear his story, as it's almost too crazy to be true!
