Legends & History


Legends of California are in my opinion the best stories on this entire site. I mean come on where else can you discover stories about missing treasure, ghost camels, cursed totem poles, and ships lost in the desert? Well you can find them all right here in the great state of California! In this section you'll find some amazing, and in a few cases, hard to believe California Legends. Additionally some of the lesser known and more bizarre history of California is featured here as well ranging from the U.S. attempts at having a camel corps in the 1800s to Japanese attacks on California during World War II and even to the amazing journey of Elmer McCurdy's corpse!
