San Diego Legends: Events, People, and Places That Made History
This book brings together for the first time the many extraordinary accounts of famous and infamous people, places, and events in San Diego’s past. From Father Junípero Serra and Pedro Fages, to modern stars of stage and screen, you’ll meet the pioneers, plunderers and performers who once called this city home. Many people and events have “made headlines” in the San Diego papers—from the rise and fall of C. Arnholt Smith to the Heaven’s Gate suicides—and this book reveals the stories behind the news stories. There are fascinating historic tidbits, including a “nudist invasion” that wreaked havoc at the 1935 California-Pacific Exposition, the 1852 murder of the city’s first mayor, and a dramatic shootout at Campo’s Gaskill Sto

|Couldn’t put down!,
We just visited your country, happened on to a book signing in Old Town in San Diego. Got to meet Mr. Innis and got a signed copy! We loved San Diego and now know what great stories exist in your past.

|Not a comprehensive history,
This book had some great, little-known stories about San Diego’s history, but I was disappointed that there was nothing about Alonso Horton, the “Father of the city”. Also missing were the stories of Irving Gill and of Kate Sessions. And there was only one tiny mention of John Spreckles.

|What an amazing book!,
I seriously could not put this book down. There are so many different stories and legends in San Diegos history. I lived in San Diego for 30 years and had heard a few of these tales, but to have them all together. Wow!
