The Bolsa Chica Gun Club

"Before the rise of Huntington Beach, the Bolsa Chica Gun Club stood as a captivating testament to power and ambition. From its establishment in 1899 through the mid-twentieth century, the club had a lasting impact on the landscape of Southern California. Influential figures like Jared Sidney Torrance and Henry Huntington were members of this exclusive haven where businessmen, politicians, and even stars of early Hollywood gathered to relax and socialize. With rapid development and the discovery of oil encroaching on the club lands, it slowly faded into memory, although its influence remains. Join author Chris Epting as he explores the remarkable and sometimes controversial events that unfolded on the club's hallowed grounds." --
