Seattle has a long tradition of being at the forefront of technological innovation. In 1919, an eager young inventor named Alfred M. Hubbard, made his first newspaper appearance with the announcement of a perpetual motion machine which harnessed energy from the Earth’s atmosphere. From there, Hubbard transformed himself into a charlatan, bootlegger, radio pioneer, top secret spy, millionaire and uranium entrepreneur. In 1950, after discovering the transformative effects of a little-known hallucinogenic compound, Hubbard would go on to become the “Johnny Appleseed of LSD,” introducing the psychedelic to many of the era’s vanguards and an entire generation.
Join author and historian Brad Holden as he chronicles the fascinating life of one of Seattle’s legendary figures.

Lawlessness in Texas did not end with the close of the cowboy era. It just evolved, swapping horses and pistols for cars and semiautomatics. From Patrolman Newt Stewart, killed by a group of servicemen in February 1900, to Whitesboro chief of police William Thomas Will Miller, run down by a vehicle in the line of duty in 1940, Ron DeLord and Cliff Caldwell present a comprehensive chronicle of the brave--and some not so brave--peace officers who laid down their lives in the service of the State of Texas in the first half of the twentieth century.

In an era when the heart of Tustin was the intersection of Main and D, folks flocked to town to get supplies and swap stories. Some of these stories featured Tustin notables like C.E. Utt, who tried his hand at every local crop; Sam Tustin, whose Buick touring car became the town fire truck; Big John Stanton, who formed the one-man police department; and Dr. William B. Wall, who found inspiration for his orange crate label in a rooster painting from Grover Cleveland. Drawing from her Tustin News column Remember When, third-generation Tustin resident Juanita Lovret recalls the small-town ranching roots of Tustin as It Once Was.
