Charley left the tamer roads of the East. He made his reputation driving along the scary trails of California. The roads were often washed out by rain. They were filled with axle-breaking ruts and bone-crunching fallen stones. Even though he only had one eye due to a stagecoach accident, Charley always kept his vehicle on the road. Outlaws were drawn to the gold carried in boxes on top of the stagecoach. They thought robbing it was an easy way to get rich. The first time Charley was held up along his route, he gave up the box without a word and left with the stagecoach and its passengers. The second robbery attempt was a different matter. When the masked bandit stepped into sight, Charley swept up his shotgun hidden on the seat. He shot the bandit in the chest and took off at high speed. Charley soon became known as one of the toughest drivers on the California stagecoach routes. No one wanted to tangle with him. Hold-up men avoided him. However, One-Eyed Charley had one surprise left for everyone after he died. The doctor discovered that rough-tough, One-Eyed Charley was really a woman. She was also the first woman known to vote in California because, as a “man,” she could vote. The children’s book Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan tells Charley’s exciting story.
