It was a treacherous journey that required expert navigation across rough terrain — but the biggest challenge became thieves. They lay in wait, eager to rob drivers and passengers of their valuable cargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stage drivers had to be good with a gun to keep their cargo safe and their passengers alive. For their skill and fearlessness, stage drivers were paid very well, and the best ones were known by name across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the best drivers in the entire state was Charley Parkhurst. In a profession where hypermasculinity was rewarded, Parkhurst stands out, because he was gender nonconforming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Charley Parkhurst: The Famous California Driver\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Parkhurst was described as a man of slight build, who chewed tobacco, drank whiskey and swore often. He wore beaded riding gloves and used a whip on his horses — and to stay out of brawls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was tough, and he looked even tougher after he was half-blinded when a horse kicked him in the face (it was probably scared by a snake), which earned him the nickname “One-Eyed Charley.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some knew the story of his crossing a crumbling bridge during a storm. Others cared only about his ability to keep the bandits away from their goods. None of his peers knew that Charley was \u003ca href=\"https://www.glaad.org/reference/covering-trans-community\">assigned female at birth\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Early Years\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The accounts of Parkhurst’s early years sometimes contradict one another. As far as we know, Parkhurst was born around 1812 in \u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/50297431/?terms=Charley%2BParkhurst\">New Hampshire\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say Parkhurst spent his early years in an orphanage, then ran away to find work in stables. Others say Parkhurst worked on an \u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/35077156/\">uncle’s farm\u003c/a> until they had a falling out, after which Parkhurst ran away to Rhode Island. Either way, around this time, young Parkhurst started wearing boys clothes, living as a male and learning how to ride horses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742538\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11742538\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota.jpg\" alt=\"Tallyho Coaching, Sioux City party Coaching at the Great Hot Springs of Dakota\" width=\"640\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota-160x133.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A stagecoach back in the 1800s. \u003ccite>(Library of Congress)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Parkhurst started working as a stage driver on the East Coast, until the Gold Rush brought him out West around 1850.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Gender Terms in History\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One could use him or they as a pronoun for Parkhurst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because ‘they’ is a wonderful nonbinary pronoun that can be used today to mark people who are sort of refusing or renouncing the gender binary,” says Don Romesburg, a historian and chair of women’s and gender studies at Sonoma State University. “But I think they can also be used for people in the past as a kind of marker of undecidability. I think that if you’re going to pick one wrong gender pronoun for Charley, it would be she. Because for as much of Charley’s life that Charley was an active agent in asserting a gendered self … he was he.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to say if Parkhurst was trans because we don’t know why Parkhurst decided to live as a man. There could have been many motivations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Women were given very few economic opportunities in the mid-19th century California. They could be seamstresses or laundresses or teachers or sex workers essentially,” says Romesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, people who had romantic ties to someone of the same sex would have been marginalized at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s all sorts of reasons beyond perhaps a true expression of one’s gendered self that someone like Parkhurst might choose to live as a man for many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Romesburg says, Parkhurst’s life is clearly part of trans history.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Gold Rush\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Parkhurst ran stretches of road all around California — between Mariposa and Stockton, Oakland and San Jose, and San Juan and Santa Cruz. Parkhurst was highly sought after, working for many wealthy families, and even drove a large cargo of gold for Wells Fargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742554\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11742554\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/el-dorado-04487v-1020x638.jpg\" alt=\"Gold miners, El Dorado, California.

He wore beaded riding gloves and used a whip on his horses — and to stay out of brawls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was tough, and he looked even tougher after he was half-blinded when a horse kicked him in the face (it was probably scared by a snake), which earned him the nickname “One-Eyed Charley.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some knew the story of his crossing a crumbling bridge during a storm. Others cared only about his ability to keep the bandits away from their goods. None of his peers knew that Charley was \u003ca href=\"https://www.glaad.org/reference/covering-trans-community\">assigned female at birth\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Early Years\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The accounts of Parkhurst’s early years sometimes contradict one another. As far as we know, Parkhurst was born around 1812 in \u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/50297431/?terms=Charley%2BParkhurst\">New Hampshire\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say Parkhurst spent his early years in an orphanage, then ran away to find work in stables. Others say Parkhurst worked on an \u003ca href=\"https://www.newspapers.com/image/35077156/\">uncle’s farm\u003c/a> until they had a falling out, after which Parkhurst ran away to Rhode Island. Either way, around this time, young Parkhurst started wearing boys clothes, living as a male and learning how to ride horses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742538\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11742538\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota.jpg\" alt=\"Tallyho Coaching, Sioux City party Coaching at the Great Hot Springs of Dakota\" width=\"640\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Tallyho-Coaching-Sioux-City-party-Coaching-at-the-Great-Hot-Springs-of-Dakota-160x133.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A stagecoach back in the 1800s. \u003ccite>(Library of Congress)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Parkhurst started working as a stage driver on the East Coast, until the Gold Rush brought him out West around 1850.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Gender Terms in History\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One could use him or they as a pronoun for Parkhurst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because ‘they’ is a wonderful nonbinary pronoun that can be used today to mark people who are sort of refusing or renouncing the gender binary,” says Don Romesburg, a historian and chair of women’s and gender studies at Sonoma State University. “But I think they can also be used for people in the past as a kind of marker of undecidability. I think that if you’re going to pick one wrong gender pronoun for Charley, it would be she. Because for as much of Charley’s life that Charley was an active agent in asserting a gendered self … he was he.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to say if Parkhurst was trans because we don’t know why Parkhurst decided to live as a man. There could have been many motivations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Women were given very few economic opportunities in the mid-19th century California. They could be seamstresses or laundresses or teachers or sex workers essentially,” says Romesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, people who had romantic ties to someone of the same sex would have been marginalized at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s all sorts of reasons beyond perhaps a true expression of one’s gendered self that someone like Parkhurst might choose to live as a man for many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Romesburg says, Parkhurst’s life is clearly part of trans history.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Gold Rush\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Parkhurst ran stretches of road all around California — between Mariposa and Stockton, Oakland and San Jose, and San Juan and Santa Cruz.

They referred to their boats as “arks,” which featured arched roofs, decks at either end and French doors at the bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A thriving social scene grew up around these Victorian arks. There was swimming, boating and parties — and boardwalks were built to connect the boats to land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake and fires of 1906 turned some of these pleasure arks into full-time homes after their owners’ homes in San Francisco were destroyed. Over the next 30 years, most of the arks moved in from the open waters. They were either moored to shore or transported onto land to become traditional homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>World War II Sparks a New Era of Waterfront Living\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During World War II, the Sausalito waterfront was transformed into a shipyard known as Marinship.

Beatniks and bohemians like Allen Ginsberg and Shel Silverstein found refuge on the water, which was filled with eclectic vessels ranging from the barely buoyant to floating works of art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were many, many very weird boats, sloppy homemade things, piles of junk,” said Jeff Costello, who moved to the water from the East Coast as a musician in the 1970s. “There was a little thing called the Donald Duck boat, which was a 22-foot metal lifeboat with a cabin on it and two front windows, and made to look like Donald Duck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the boats at this time were tied up along shore — and like Haight-Ashbury across the bridge in San Francisco, drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll fueled a raucous party scene on the water.

For the next decade, officials and boat owners continued to spar in what has come to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theava.com/archives/23500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houseboat Wars\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late ’70s, a detente of sorts was reached, after the building of five permanent marinas where “floating homes” could permanently dock and get linked to utilities and sewage. Yet some saw this as gentrification of the waterfront, and some of the boats made the move to open water to become anchor-outs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Anchor-Outs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBlUnKzdEME\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Houseboat Wars raged along shore, Greg Baker and the other early anchor-outs mostly avoided the drama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government didn’t know we existed,” he said. “Nobody had the slightest idea we were living on our boats out here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Baker first dropped anchor in Richardson Bay in 1963, he said there were around 20 boats anchored out. “I think I lived on an old metal lifeboat with a canvas over it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after the building of the marinas in the late ’70s, which drove more people out to the open waters, Baker said there were still fewer than 100 anchor-outs. That changed about a decade ago, when numbers started to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around this time, other anchorages in the Bay Area closed or clamped down on live-aboards, leaving Richardson Bay as one of the few places where people could live freely on the water. It was also the height of the Great Recession — as it became harder to afford a place to live in the Bay Area, a rent-free life on the water became an even more attractive option.[aside postID='news_11535091' label='A Cartoonists Look at Life as an Anchor-Out']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, there were 235 anchor-outs in Richardson Bay, according to the Richardson’s Bay Regional Agency (RBRA), a cooperative agency serving Belvedere, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Marin County and, until 2017, Sausalito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said many of the newcomers didn’t come with a lot of marine knowledge, leading to more calls to police about domestic violence, drug use and drownings. There were also environmental concerns about the boats’ impact on the bay’s \u003ca href=\"http://ca.audubon.org/news/tangled-web-issues-complicates-effort-protect-richardson-bays-eelgrass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eelgrass population\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Sausalito passed a law saying the city could impound any vessel left in its waters for more than 72 hours. But city leaders say the top priority of the new law is getting rid of the many boats anchored \u003cem>without\u003c/em> anyone living on them, boats that are either abandoned or being used as storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not our intention to ever force folks who are living on their boats to leave our waters,” said Sausalito City Councilwoman Joan Cox. “But as people do leave, we intend not to have them replaced by other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Future of Anchor-Outs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11739993\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11739993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36504_DSC_2381-qut-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Baker has had several boats since he first became an anchor-out on Richardson Bay in 1963.

Earlier this week, the City Council agreed to move forward with a pilot program that would pay for eight anchor-outs to dock at one of the city’s marinas for six months and get connected to social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are anchor-outs who, if simply given the opportunity to bring their boat from the water to a slip, will not have to spend all of their time surviving on the water,” Cox said. “They’ll be able to go out and seek job opportunities, get on their feet again and move their lives forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RBRA is looking at the feasibility of setting up a permanent mooring field that would allow permitted anchor-outs to stay in the bay while being as ecologically friendly as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said he understands why some people are upset about the current state of the anchor-outs. He’s part of a \u003ca href=\"http://anchoredout.org/AnchoredOut/RBSAA.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group of live-aboards\u003c/a> who have committed to having their anchors inspected to make sure the boats don’t get blown away, registering their boats with the U.S. Coast Guard, having a reliable way to dispose of sewage and keeping their decks clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are trying to keep people safe,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also makes it clear that he doesn’t plan on leaving the water anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s home, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” he said. “They’ll have to take me away in handcuffs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They referred to their boats as “arks,” which featured arched roofs, decks at either end and French doors at the bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A thriving social scene grew up around these Victorian arks. There was swimming, boating and parties — and boardwalks were built to connect the boats to land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake and fires of 1906 turned some of these pleasure arks into full-time homes after their owners’ homes in San Francisco were destroyed. Over the next 30 years, most of the arks moved in from the open waters. They were either moored to shore or transported onto land to become traditional homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>World War II Sparks a New Era of Waterfront Living\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During World War II, the Sausalito waterfront was transformed into a shipyard known as Marinship.

Beatniks and bohemians like Allen Ginsberg and Shel Silverstein found refuge on the water, which was filled with eclectic vessels ranging from the barely buoyant to floating works of art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were many, many very weird boats, sloppy homemade things, piles of junk,” said Jeff Costello, who moved to the water from the East Coast as a musician in the 1970s. “There was a little thing called the Donald Duck boat, which was a 22-foot metal lifeboat with a cabin on it and two front windows, and made to look like Donald Duck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the boats at this time were tied up along shore — and like Haight-Ashbury across the bridge in San Francisco, drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll fueled a raucous party scene on the water.
