4. Tiburcio Vasquez
One of California's most famous outlaws was associated with San Juan during the 1860's and 1870's. Born and raised in Monterey, Vasquez had many friends in the area. He was said to have a way with women and was widely considered brave, cunning and, at times, a gallant gentlemen. His activities were well documented and he was a hero of sorts to Mexican Californios who often helped him outwit law enforcement officers and their posses.
