Unkle Sherman, is recognized from his appearances
in local T.V. ads, on camera and voice-over.

pictures, both T.V. and film.

Using the moniker, "Pappy" Yer Unkle Sherman has been known to rob a train or two
at the Roaring Camp, Big Trees Railroad in Felton, California. Pappy causes the tourists,
especially, "rich widder wimmen" and lawyers, to tremble in their shoes.
Sherman also portrays Isaac Graham, the historic bad boy of Santa Cruz county.
Mr. Graham, Tennesee moonshiner and cousin of Davy Crockett, was the first person to confront the Mexican
government in the 1830's with a band of rowdies to demand independance for California from Mexico.

"Graham was quite colorful and Unkle Sherman portrays him with delight".
Georgiana Clark, CEO, Roaring Camp, Big Trees Railroad
"Pappy" is the persona Unkle Sherman also uses to portray a Civil War bounty hunter.
With a gang of civilian reprobates, dressed in period clothing and gear, "Pappy" and gang
appear at Civil War re-enactments and create havoc with the Army volunteers from both North and South.
Providing "laudanum", "comfort wimmen", spirits, games of chance and catching miscreants and
cowardly persons, both Yankee and Rebel for a just compensation, this gang of colorful bounty hunters
enhances any Civil War re-enactment in which they're paid to participate. |
