Meet Black Bart, the Gentleman Robber who held up 28 Wells Fargo stagecoaches only to be unmasked by his laundry mark
Learn how city leaders outlawed burials and evicted the dead from cemeteries - and why it's great to be alive in Colma
Marvel at the monkey that held a security guard hostage and the parrot that was called to the witness stand
Learn why San Francisco Bay should've been discovered in 1542 - and why it took explorers 227 more years to find it
Discover which Pulitzer Prize-winning author bequeathed a plastic bag full of 10,000 rubber bands to Stanford University
And much more!
