Juan Cortina was a prominent Mexican-American figure in the mid-19th century, known primarily as a cattle rustler and bandit in Texas. He gained notoriety for his resistance against Anglo-American encroachment on Mexican land and rights, particularly during the turbulent period following the Mexican-American War. Cortina's actions and his efforts to protect the interests of the Mexican community in Texas made him a folk hero to some and a criminal to others. His legacy reflects the complexities of borderland identity and conflict during that era.
