Little Known Tales in California History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Read About: * The lost Spanish Galleon still lying on the bottom of the Salton Sea, which Cahuilla Indians claim contains strong metal chests. * Pegleg Smith's lost gold mine is still waiting for someone to rediscover it. There are prospectors today still looking for it in the desert below Palm Springs. * Is Joaquin Murrieta only the myth of an early newspaper writer? Some historians think so. * There are tales of railroad titans, land barons, a government plan to use camels to deliver mail, and various other tales to enchant readers. * The wide range of subjects makes this book educational, but easy to read without wading deep into historic documents. These little known tales are essentially five-minute history lesson. "Little Known Tales in California History" is a perfect gift for the "person who has everything". --- from book's back cover
