McCulley was familiar with the story of Joaquin Murrieta Carrillo and in many ways, this character can be considered to be the chief source of the character of the original caped hero. Murrieta Carrillo was probably the main model for the character of Zorro. However, McCulley was almost certainly inspired by other bandits and rebels from a turbulent period in Californian history.
