    Fascinating True Tales from Old California is a collection of vivid Califor= nia stories that documents some adventures and encounters that may not appe=
    ar in the usual volume of California history. Here are some fifty true stor= ies of con men, spirited women, immigrants who fought for freedom or made t= heir marks on California history through other efforts, and individuals who=
    chose paths that diverted from the norm. Each individual is outrageous, co= lorful, proactive and admirable in their own right... even the swindlers an=
    d the remarkable prospect of an early cross-dressing stagecoach driver. Cal= ifornia's history is more colorful than even its modern residents may think=
    .. This book proves it, and should be in any collection of California histor=
    y and culture.
