1. Mountain Charley. Most colorful of Santa Cruz Mountain characters of the pioneer days was Mountain Charley McKiernan, one of the first white settlers in the region. Hunter, rancher, teamster, road-builder and stage-line operator, McKieman was said to be the idol of every small boy who grew up in the region. According to his admirers, his motto was: "Right wrongs nobody." (Submitted on June 5, 2012, by Barry Swackhamer of Brentwood, California.)
2. Weaverville, the little town could - East Valley Times. It is often the small towns that make America great. Weaverville, population 3,500 and county seat of Trinity, is one of those towns. Two million acres makes Trinity County one of California’s largest in size, while only 14,000 inhabitants (and no stop lights) make it one of the state’s least populated.
