• Those Wild and Lusty Gold Camps

Bio

Alton Pryor has been a writer for magazines, newspapers, and wire services. He worked for United Press International in their Sacramento bureau, handling both printed press as well as radio news. He then moved to Salinas, where he worked for the Salinas Californian daily newspaper for five years as editor of Western Ranch and Home, a weekend supplement.

In 1963, he joined California Farmer magazine, where he worked as a field editor for 27 years. When that magazine was sold, the new owners forced him into retirement, which was too soon for the still-active writer.

He gained an intense interest in California history after selling about eight short 500-word articles on Southern California history. In his research of these stories, he kept running across other stories that interested him but did not fit the particular publication for which he was then writing. He began collecting both facts and ideas as he researched, and finally turned them into his first book, Little Known Tales in California History.

Alton Pryor is now the author of more than 11 books: Little Known Tales in California History, Classic Tales in California History, Those Wild and Lusty Gold Camps, California’s Hidden Gold, Outlaws and Gunslingers, Historic California: Its Colorful Names and How It Got Them, Jonathan’s Red Apple Tree (a children’s book), Publish It Yourself: Five Easy Steps to Getting Your Book into Print, Little Known Tales in Nevada History, and Little Known Tales in Hawaii History.

He is a graduate of California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism.
