- Scandals and Scoundrels
There was no scandal like the girl who said a cable car accident turned her into a nymphomaniac. She was awarded $50,000 for it. How about the judge who loved playing three-card monte on the public’s money? When he was broke and needed money, he opened court. He summoned a deputy and told him to bring in a drunk with money. After fining the drunk, he pocketed the $20 fine and went back to playing three-card monte. This book is filled with outlandish and sometimes humorous tales of the scam games of the west and the scandals that occurred along with them.

- Little Known Tales in Hawaii History

- Little Known Tales in Nevada History
One of the big controversies when Nevada became a state was what that pristine body of water separating the states of California and Nevada would be called. The story on finding a proper name is worth the price of the book. Nevada's history is much more than casinos and sage brush. There was the big battle at Pyramid Lake; there was a war between whites and Orientals; and there is the story of Nevada's last lynching. We promise you that you'll enjoy your trip through Nevada's history. If you don't, return the book for a complete refund. ISBN: 974755109 — $11.95

Readers will also learn about several other women that helped make California what it is today. ISBN: 966005392 — $11.95
