Download Hillinger's California: Stories from All 58 Counties AudioBook Free
The California that Charles Hillinger writes about is not the stereotypical land of celebrities, sensational trials, or tourist snapshots. Instead, he reveals a patchwork of incredible variety and uniqueness in the out-of-the-way places and people found throughout this amazing state. To be a LA Times columnist who wrote a large number of human-interest stories during forty-six many years of traveling the planet, Charles Hillinger hones in on why is each of California's counties not the same as the others. Listeners find out about the person who flew an airplane a long time before the Wright Brothers did, the church with stained-glass windows commemorating preachers who have been murdered or accidentally killed, and the museum with the largest collection of mummies on the West Coast. The stories are down-to-earth without excessive sentiment or philosophy.
