Something Wicked This Way Comes: William Burg and Wicked Sacramento

Discover the wicked side of Sacramento’s past.

Who murdered famous brothel owner Cherry de Saint Maurice? Was Kitty Nisetich’s death a suicide – or a murder? Who was the Bootlegging Boxer that circumvented Sacramento law in order to bring “the raggiest of modern music” to a floating palace? And what was the great Cheese Sandwich Controversy of 1916?

Learn all about Sacramento’s steamy past – the bootlegging, the gambling, the boxing, the stripteases, and the sex work – from historian and author William Burg.
