Orange County Pioneers: Oral Histories from the Works Progress Administration
Charles Epting
Orange
County’s pioneer history is filled with harrowing tales every bit as entertaining as
a western
novel. These stories, culled from oral histories recorded by old-timers in the 1930s as part
of the Works Progress Administration,
offer a rarely seen look into Orange County’s frontier days. From bear hunts
and bullfights to social gatherings at the home of the most famous Shakespearean actress of the day, these
tales are a window into the earliest
days of every corner of the county. Join editor Charles Epting for these wonderfully evocative portraits of the past
recounted in the words of the eyewitnesses.
