This chapter details the narratives of the folk hero and seditionist Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, who revolted against the American presence in deep South Texas shortly before the U.S. Civil War. The story has been adapted into a popular blog, El Rrun Rrun, that has countered the many negative and devaluing representations of Cortina as a Tejano from the Rio Grande Valley. It seeks to recontextualize his position (and that of his people) in South Texas society into what the blog’s author sees as a badly needed hero for a population that has been oppressed and debased since the United States occupied the region in 1846. The reconfiguration of Cortina’s history into the El Rrun Rrun blog is a form of adaptation that has not been previously considered. Yet, it is remarkably salient in that it brings together disparate narratives that are a meaningful part of South Texas history. Their wide-ranging circulation through the internet portends significant influence on the history and identity of the region and its people.
