By Mark McLaughlin, Historian In the years before the transcontinental railroad made traversing the rugged Sierra Nevada a comfortable ride in luxury, spartan stagecoaches were the principle means of transportation through the mountains. The two main routes across the Sierra were through Johnson’s Pass into Placerville and Henness Pass, which entered the Sacramento Valley by way of Nevada City. Both roads were dangerously steep and narrow, blocked by granite boulders, and often blanketed in a suffocating dust. After the Comstock discovery in western Nevada Territory in 1859, toll-roads were built over the Sierra to handle the burgeoning traffic between Virginia City and Placerville. During 1861 and 1862,

small armies of laborers were hired to cut down and smooth the worst grades, blast aside rock, and fill the gullies and ruts with compact layers of broken stones and loam. Within two years, the main roads over the Sierra, which had been narrow trails scarcely fit for sure-footed pack mules, had become broad, compact, well-graded highways. Stagecoach companies were big business during the Comstock’s heady years of massive silver production. One of the most successful lines was the Pioneer Stage Company. The Pioneer Stage route followed the old trail between Placerville, California, over the Sierra past South Lake Tahoe, to Genoa, Nevada. The company maintained twelve superb Concord Coaches with six horses to each stage. Business was brisk. On average, more than 100 passengers used the line daily to reach Virginia City from California. Besides passengers, the stages hauled gold and silver bullion as well as mine company payrolls. Stage robbery was a constant danger in the days before law and order arrived Continued on Page 4

The Strange Tale of Charley Parkhurst

May 2022

Northwoods Tahoe

Continued from Page 3 in the Wild West. Bandits employed many strategies to ambush a stagecoach. The most common method was for the highway robbers to hide behind a thicket of trees or lay flat on the ground. When the stage approached, the crooks would jump to their feet with their guns drawn. Thieves rarely met with much resistance from the stage drivers, since the drivers had passenger safety foremost in mind. The gang was usually after the Wells Fargo moneybox with its valuable contents. Passengers were seldom hurt, but they were certainly relieved of their cash, watches and jewelry. If the road agents had time, the baggage and traveling trunks were searched as well.

One of the most famous drivers was Charles Darkey Parkhurst. Charley came west from New England in 1852, seeking his own fortune in the Gold Rush. He spent the next 15 years running stages in both California and western Nevada. Over the years, his reputation as an expert whip grew legendary. Charley handled all six reins plus the whip with an easy dexterity. From 20 feet away he could slice open the end of an envelope or cut a cigar out of a man’s mouth. Parkhurst smoked cigars, chewed wads of tobacco, drank with the best of them, and exuded supreme confidence behind the reins. His judgment as to what could and could not be done with a coach was always sound, and his pleasant manners won him friends everywhere.

Throughout the spring, summer and fall, rugged teamsters held rein over One time, as Charley a half dozen wild-eyed attempted to brake horses as they tore his stagecoach down along the precipitous Carson Pass, the lead mountain trails. During horses stumbled off winter, converted sleighs the road.

TWO GREAT OPTIONS, SERVING DAILY.

Northwoods Tahoe

Continued from Page 4 road. Charley had saved all his passengers and was now a bonafide hero. During the peak of the Gold Rush, bands of surly highwaymen stalked the roads. These outlaws would level their shotguns at the drivers and shout, “Throw down the gold box!” Charley Parkhurst had no patience for the crooks despite their demands and threatening gestures. The most notorious road agent was nicknamed “Sugarfoot”. When he and his gang accosted Charley’s stage, it was the last robbery the thief ever attempted. Charley cracked his whip defiantly and the horses bolted. Charley then grabbed his six-shooter, and with bullets blazing, raced away without loss or injury. Sugarfoot, however, was later found dead with a fatal bullet wound in his stomach. In appreciation of his bravery, Wells Fargo presented Parkhurst with a large watch and chain made of solid gold. In 1862, Charley relocated to work as a stage driver on the route from Santa Cruz to San Juan Bautista. A few years later Parkhurst opened his own stage station. He later sold the business and retired to a nearby ranch where he farmed and worked in the woods near Soquel, California. The years slipped by and Charley died on December 29, 1879, at the age of 67. A few days later, the Sacramento Daily Bee published his obituary. It read; “On Sunday last, there died a person known as Charley Parkhurst, aged 67, who was well-known to old residents as a stage driver. He was in early days accounted one of the most expert manipulators of the reins who ever sat on the box of a coach. It was

discovered when friendly hands were preparing him for his final rest, that Charley Parkhurst was unmistakably a well-developed woman!” Once it was discovered that Charley was a woman, people came forth to say they knew something wasn’t quite right about “him.” Even though he wore leather gloves summer and winter, many noticed that Charley’s hands were small and smooth. He slept in the stables with his beloved horses and was never known to have had a girlfriend. Charley never volunteered clues to the past and loose fitting clothing hid her femininity. After a horse kicked her, an eye patch over one eye helped conceal her facial features. She had a stocky figure, could handle herself in a fight and sometimes drank whiskey like one of the boys. It turns out that Charley’s real name was Charlotte Parkhurst. Born in Lebanon, New Hampshire in 1812, she was raised in an orphanage until she ran away and got a job as a stable hand in Worcester, Massachusetts. She worked as a coachman in Georgia and later handled fancy horses as a coach driver in Rhode Island. When she came west, Parkhurst quickly realized that men had an advantage when it came to making money, so Charlotte decided to masquerade as “Charley” to even the playing field. The rest is history. Well…there is one last thing. On November 3, 1868, it was reported that Charlotte Parkhurst voted in the national election, making her the first woman to cast a ballot since New Jersey became the last state to revoke the right in 1807. Parkhurst voted one year before Wyoming Territory finally broke the gender barrier and granted women’s suffrage, but it was more than 50 years before Congress finally passed the 19th Amendment in 1920, reestablishing women’s right to vote in the United States.

Grocery Store Savings Hacks As people continue to eat more meals at home, shoppers everywhere are feeling the pinch of increasing prices on nearly every item at the grocery store. With almost one-third of Americans spending at least $100 per week on groceries, many are now looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. In fact, 7 in 10 people (71%) are more likely to shop on a budget now than prior to the pandemic, according to a survey released by Malt-O-Meal, with parents being 21% more likely than non-parents. As you look for ways to save at the grocery store, consider these tactics: Create a Budget While you may have a number in mind you hope to spend weekly (or monthly) on groceries, it may not be sustainable. Start by determining how much you spend over the course of a few weeks and use that number to identify patterns in your spending and set a more accurate grocery budget. From there, it may be easier to find places to adjust, like buying certain items in bulk or switching to value brands. Make a List Creating a weekly meal plan and gro-

cery list before you leave the house can reduce the chances of buying things you don’t need. Knowing exactly what you need for weekly meals and to replenish essentials - and sticking to that list - can help ensure you don’t spend money on products you won’t use. Seek Out Value The top two factors consumers prioritize when grocery shopping are quality (34%) and price (30%), according to the survey. To help save money on their weekly grocery bills while still buying high-quality products, one of the top tactics shoppers have used is purchasing food from value brands. One such option is bagged cereal from Malt-O-Meal, which is available in 36 ready-to-eat flavors so you can find a variety that appeals to each family member at an affordable price. With a commitment to quality and great taste, families can count on the wide selection packaged in re-sealable bags with a fun and colorful new look. Shop Alone When shopping with other members of your family, like your children or significant other, the odds of straying from your list can increase. To help limit the chance of being coaxed into

buying things you don’t actually need, go alone and stick to your list. Scan Sales Flyers Grocery stores run various promotions each week that can help you save on everything from meat and eggs to ice cream and other frozen foods. A simple way to save is checking the weekly ads at the grocery stores in your area. Shopping at a different store than usual may allow you to take advantage of different sales, and those items are often located in prominent areas of the store, like near the entrance or at the end of aisles, to make them easy to find. Use Rebate Apps While rebates don’t always provide the same up-front savings of some other methods, such as traditional coupons, you may see a greater savings in the long run. With a variety of free options out there, you can register and start earning cash back almost immediately. For greatest savings, pair rebate app savings with store loyalty discounts and credit card cash back rewards. Look for In-Season Produce When you’re shopping on a budget, sticking to in-season produce can get you the most bang for your

buck. When fresh fruits and vegetables are out of season, stores typically charge more for them since they’re not as readily available. Planning your meals around in-season produce can not only help save money, but also put the best-tasting fruits and veggies on the table.

Keep Kids Learning During Summer With school out, summertime brings long, carefree days of play and fun. It can be easy to forget how much children learn through play, but they have a natural sense of curiosity. With a little thought and a few supplies, summer is a perfect opportunity to revitalize their innate love of learning that may be a bit squashed after a year of academic pressures, tests and schedules. “At this time of year, we often hear families express concern about children losing academic skills during summer break,” said Sue-Ann Lively from KinderCare’s education team. “The pressure to add academic learning to summer can lead to increased anxiety, which isn’t helpful for parents or children. Children retain what they learned best when they’re engaged and interested in what they’re doing. As we head into summer, think about the skills your child learned during the school year and how you could incorporate those skills into activities your child enjoys doing.” Consider these three tips to help your family incorporate learning classroom concepts in summer fun and nurture your children’s love of learning through real-life applications. Build on classroom skills Practicing writing may not be at the top of your children’s summer activities lists. However, writing might be more appealing if it led to something fun, like a card or letter from a relative or friend. By encouraging your children to write to pen pals, like friends or family members, they

will not only practice their literacy skills by writing letters and reading replies, but also work on important executive function skills by learning to manage anticipation while waiting for a response. Even children who are too young to write can participate by drawing pictures and dictating the captions to family members. Go outside A walk around the neighborhood can turn into an opportunity to build STEM skills by observing changes over time. As you and your children walk, ask questions, make predictions and discuss what you see. This way, you’ll be forming hypotheses and analyzing your results, just like scientists. Find learning opportunities in regular activities Cooking provides a variety of opportunities to work on math skills. For younger children, that could mean getting two carrots and one apple for a recipe. For children who are learning fractions and multiplication, that might mean figuring out how much of an ingredient to add, such as “If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour and we’re doubling the recipe, how much flour do we need?” Board games are another opportunity to build academic skills, like math and literacy; executive function skills, like waiting for their turn; and social skills, such as being a gracious winner. Additionally, read with your children daily and help them find opportunities to practice reading skills, such as reading signs aloud at the park or reading books out loud to other family members.
