The bravest of all the Pony Express riders, the ex-riverboat pilot who became a reporter and a giant of American literature, a Chinese migrant who risked life and limb to build a railroad, a tale of stock manipulation and murder that stemmed from a discovery of a Tahoe whirlpool, a salty seafarer who battled the worst of Tahoe's weather and gangrene, the silent terror that caused fear to the local lumber-jacks, the incorrigible stagecoach driver that gave a nineteenth-century icon a ride he wanted to forget, a refugee from the San Francisco earthquake who became an aquatic marvel, the famous of Hollywood's Golden Age that came to play, the overly optimistic New York lawyer who had an impossible dream that came true, and the unpaid Norwegian who flew down mountains delivering the US Mail. Tahoe is a meeting place, where the mountains meet the sky, where the snow meets the clear blue waters and where Nevada meets California. This book humbly brings you the stories of the men Sam Walter Foss might have alluded to when he said, "Bring me men to match my mountains." Well here they are Sam, some of Tahoe's finest, The Ghosts of Lake Tahoe (The Stuff of Legends.) Patrick Betson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold look at the creative, controversial, and vibrant history of skateboarding, and the amazing skaters who continually reinvent it Skateboarding isn't just a recreational activity, but a professional sport, lifestyle, art form, and cultural phenomenon. The striking book Four Wheels and a Board captures its spirited history, iconic skateboarders, diverse community, and the palpable passion of the people who love it. It includes contributions from the most influential names in the game, including Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk, Mimi Knoop, and more. The gorgeously designed book presents objects, artifacts, and photographs from the Smithsonian’s collections that exemplify the vitality and innovation of skate culture. Book chapters are organized chronologically by decade from the '60s to present day, starting with 20th-century surfboards, moving through technological changes, the disappearance of skate parks, the rise of social media and collaborations, and ending with never-before-seen objects from the 2020 Summer Olympics, where skateboarding made its historic Olympic debut. Largely invented by youth, skateboarding has attracted punks, misfits, and dreamers looking for somewhere to belong. The book features skateboards and skaters who open dialogues about race, the gender binary, queerness, the displacement of Native people, and so much more, shining a light on people and places not often represented in traditional skateboard history. Four Wheels and a Board is a fresh look at a transformative culture, and one hell of a ride.

Book excerpt: "A piece of wood, two trucks, four wheels ... a skateboard. You start by rolling down a sidewalk, and end up rolling through life. For some the ride stops at the end of the street; for others the ride never ends. This book was written by those for whom the ride is never-ending: by the 15-year-old grom who falls asleep dreaming of skateboarding; by the 40-something "pad dad" you see at the local skatepark; by the women whose stories have never been told; and by the 73-year-old architect who didn't begin skateboarding until the age of 65. Over 170 stories and 200+ photographs. The 'everyman/everywoman' are accompanied by contributions from some 'notable' skateboarders, and other personalities from the skateboard world ... Some of the great skateboarding photographers have graciously contributed to the book."--Description from www.amazon.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Voices From Tahoe" is a fictional mystery inspired by author Barbara Welnetz's early life living at Lake Tahoe. The story revolves around a middle-aged woman who moves to Lake Tahoe, California after her divorce. Finding herself immersed in nature for the first time, she develops a love of the mountains and the beauty of Lake Tahoe. While managing a small grocery on the west shore of the Lake, the story describes the joys and challenges of life as a single woman in her 40s. Yearning to make this new life permanent, three men come into her life. One for love, one from a different century and one who schemes to enact revenge on her. How she manages to grow and survive amidst these three provides readers with mystery, romance, and terror. The novel is a first-person account of Tess McCarthy, who moves to Lake Tahoe, and her success as the eventual owner of the local mercantile. Living in a small cabin in the woods, she becomes entranced with nature as never before, both on her bicycle and through surprise interactions with local wildlife. The story also describes the funny and serious side of the grocery business. There is joy, sorrow and fear found in her interaction with three quite different men whom she meets in her first year at the Lake. Michael is the lonely man whom she stumbles upon in Blackwood Canyon's trails on the west shore of the Lake. He has suffered since a childhood fire left him scarred and alone in the world. Thomas is a spirit whom she discovers through an elderly widower who comes to find out if the spirit world really exists, and if Thomas is still inhabiting the upper floors of the old store that Tess is about to purchase. Jonathan is a troubled employee whom she suspects is stealing from the store. The termination of his employment results in a pattern of harassment he unleashes on her. Just when she believes he has left the lake, a terrifying confrontation ensues resulting in his attempt on her life.
