The manuscript is a collection of short stories that were
originally prepared as part of a radio program that began in the
early 1980's as a summer informational and educational program for
Tahoe area residents and tourists. Between 1982 and 1985 the author
presented more than one hundred radio tales about Tahoe's history
and the environment over Tahoe radio station KTHO AM-590. Lane
returned to the radio airways in 1995, this time with radio station
KOWL AM-1490, and has since broadcast more than two thousand tales
("Don Lane's Tales of Tahoe"). The manuscript is a distinctive
mixture of stories about the events, large and small, that shaped
and changed the region, and simple stories about the people that
once lived in our region during the past 150-years. Stories about
pioneer men and women, gold-seekers and adventurers. Tales about
the unique characters; the famous like the Donner's, Mark Twain,
John Sutter and James Marshall, and John Fremont, along with the
powerful and the forgotten. The manuscript weaves serious history
with light-hearted tales with a minimum of editorializing, as the
emphasis has been on maintaining historical integrity and
authenticity. The stories, gathered from old journals, archives and
historical records are both entertaining, and educational. And
hopefully too, this manuscript will contribute to an increased
awareness of our regional history and a greater appreciation for
those people that have been lost inside the pages of history.
