Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in California History (Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Histo) - Softcover
Synopsis
Californians see the evidence everyday: Bad guys are born; jerks have to work harder at being irritating and despicable. The Golden State's history is filled with jerks--from Hippolyte de Bouchard who attacked and burned Monterey to Los Angeles Department of Water & Power Chief Engineer William Mulholland who may have ignored signs of a fatal dam collapse. Score a point for the jerks: where history finds one jerk, there's usually a corresponding jerk nemesis on the other side of the (his) story.
Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in California History features 15 short biographies of notorious badguys, perpetrators of mischief, visionary if misunderstood thinkers, and other colorful anti-heroes from the history of the Golden State.
