Sleeper on the Stump

A collection of fifteen never-before-published talks about the history of Orange County, California by Jim Sleeper, 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 in full, word-for-word, right down to hand gestures and stage directions. His talks offer information and observations from Sleeper's seven decades of research, all told in that inimitable Sleeper style.
