Gary is one of my favorite storytellers and his presentations never cease to inform and entertain.

Join us as Sierra College historian and Sierra Nevada native son Gary Noy presents an illustrated lecture on unusual and lesser-known stories of Sierra Nevada history, with a special focus on California Gold Rush drinking, dining and gambling habits and an historical surprise or two about Lake Tahoe. The presentation is based upon material from Noy’s book Sierra Stories: Tales of Dreamers, Schemers, Bigots and Rogues which will be available for sale and signing; and from his upcoming book Gold Rush Stories: 49 Tales of Seekers, Scoundrels, Loss and Luck, which will be released in early 2017.
