THE ADVENTURES OF AMERICAN JOE The Story of a Daring Young American and a Privateer from Buenos Aires JOSEPH CHAPMAN, known in southern California as Jose de Ingles, is shipwrecked and picked up by Bouchard, the pirate, who forces the young man to join the crew. As they approach the shore, the pirate instructs Joe to go inland, look over the Ortega Ranch and make an effort to locate the reputed treasures. Joe meets the daughter of Ortega and warns her of the pirates’ plan to attack and rob her father. Bouchard hears of Joe’s treachery and swears vengeance but the young American, once free from the privateers, succeeds in driving them from the country. Joe, having decided to stay with the Ortegas, institutes many progressive measures and builds the first mill in California. But he was not destined to live in peace. Bouchard’s spy, disguised as a beggar, visits the ranch, discovers Joe’s popularity and the prosperous condition of the locality, and hastens to inform his chief. Smarting under his previous defeat, Bouchard plans to even matters with the American, whom he decoys and makes a prisoner. Guadalupe, the pretty daughter of Ortega, learns of the capture of “American Joe’’ and effects his rescue, after a strenuous attack on the privateers’ stronghold.
