Upwelling: Malcolm Macdonald and Joycelyn Trigg

Mendocino historian Malcolm Macdonald discusses his recent book, The Mendocino Outlaws, and local poet Joycelyn Trigg reads from her poetry collection Vital Records. 

The Mendocino Outlaws chronicles a gang of outlaws who murdered and terrorized Mendocino coastal residents in 1879 and 1880, and the heroic locals, including Doc Standley, who pursued them and brought them to trial. 

Vital Records melds the two worlds of the South and the Northern Pacific Coast. It explores family dynamics, tragedy, and the combination of two cultures.
