Show Notes

In this episode of the American Attic, we sit down with a local ambassador of the past who's current efforts at sharing historical insights are surpassed only by his ability to assume the characters and mannerisms of some of the figures he portrays.

Along with reenacting early Californian miners, our guest is a writer and history docent at Deer Creek Hills Preserve in Sacramento's East County. Along with talking the talk, our guest literally walks the walk as he leads tours through the rust-colored rolling hills, groves of California Oak and past artifacts of societies long since passed.

Suffice it to say, David Scharlach takes a hands on approach to history wherever you may find him. Thanks for joining us for one more trip up to the American Attic and please enjoy this roving and rambling discussion of one man's journey of getting "hooked" on history.

Among many other things, in this episode we discuss David's authorship of a series entitled 'Tales of the Blue Oak' which can be found at the Racho Murieta Today publication.
