Sleeper on the Stump

by Jim Sleeper

Jim Sleeper hated public speaking. As the leading Orange County historian of his generation, Sleeper (1927-2012) preferred to tell his stories on the printed page. But when he did give talks, he wrote them out word-for-word, right down to hand gestures and stage directions. This book contains 15 never-before-published talks on a variety of topics, including many stories he never got around to telling in print. Each talk offers information and observations from Sleeper’s seven decades of research, all told in that inimitable Sleeper style.
