Charley Parkhurst Revealed as Woman After Death
Telegram from Watsonville recounts the discovery that the California stage driver Charley Parkhurst, long believed male, was actually a woman. The 67 year old, famed for coaching from Stockton to Mariposa and other routes, lived decades among men despite rheumatism and later died from tongue cancer. The story notes the 1867 Great Resistor entry and hints at possible causes for decades of gender concealment.
