Beyond Baja Legends
Beyond Baja Legends (New Book)
by Greg Niemann
Beyond Legends: From Beautiful Baja to Mainland Mexico is a broad collection of stories covering adventures, places, people, and historical events
throughout Baja California. Greg Niemann, author of two previous books about Baja, has written and compiled these stand-alone articles over several
decades that cover the length and breadth of both Baja California states. Included are a few stories from the Mexican mainland, from surviving a
terrifying hurricane in Mazatlán to lazing in Yucatan haciendas converted from old sisal plantations.
Discover what Wyatt Earp, John Steinbeck, Erle Stanley Gardner, Steve McQueen, and other notable figures had to do with Baja California. It’s all
there, including a section on Mexican culture, holidays and events. Expats, tourists, and those with an interest in the land “down south” will be
fascinated by the scope of information in Beyond Baja Legends. There are a lot of “I didn’t know that” moments.

I just got it last month, will be reading it in a few weeks on my next Baja trip!
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?
