As We Were Told, Volume II by Coarsegold Historical Society
More of the oral history of Eastern Madera County with a focus on the Coarsegold area. This book wasn't as good as the first volume. The history is of a much more recent origin. The people interviewed were born in the 1910s and 1920s so they don't have as many origin stories. I have learned a lot about cattle ranching, though. I still would like a map to place the ranch locations. The bonus of the book is that it completely reprints John Shay's book about being a blacksmith in Grub Gulch.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
