Description
Erle Stanley Gardner’s Nonfiction
A larger than life personality, Erle Stanley Gardner was much more than a writer of mystery novels. In fact, he was a Renaissance man: a fighter for the rights of the wrongfully convicted, a hunter, a fisherman and an explorer who opened up much of Baja California, sometimes by helicopter. Visitors to his ranch in Temecula, California had better be ready to ride a horse.
