Nellie Bly O'Bryan came to Hollywood in 1917 and worked as the first woman movie projectionist. Mentored by Charlie Chaplin, she became a silent film star. Nellie "escaped" Hollywood by moving to the Eastern High Sierra in 1939. She built her own cabin, survived solo winters, opened a resort at Lundy Lake, became a licensed Hunting and Fishing Guide, and built the "Upside Down House," a famous tourist attraction. She wrote about those personal adventures and promoted the region in her essays and short fiction stores. Nellie had worked on this book for many years, but passed away in 1984. These stories and insights from a fascinating life are gathered together, at last .
Stretching from Victorville to Carson City, Highway 395 offers a snapshot of California's diverse landscapes - and oddities. Tales of skinwalkers and sasquatch sightings flourish among the bones of ghost towns, and stories of the elusive Lone Pine Mountain Devil ignite the curiosity. Far from fiction, the Sierra Phantom lived among the hills for fifty years, and Mountaineer Norman Clyde used his skills to find lost hikers and climbers. Rumors of the Lost Cement Mine, with a rich vein of gold, lures people in, and the Tuttle Creek Ashram, built high above Lone Pine, offers peace. Author Brian Clune explores the strange and fascinating side of the majestic mountains and lonely deserts along the El Camino Sierra.
