About this listen
"One-Eyed" Charlie Parkhurst was a stagecoach driver and (probably) a trans man who led an awesome, cool life in the early days of California's statehood. Locally famous during his life, and then nationally afterwards, Charley's story is one very familiar to many: moving out to California and living your best life as your true self.
