Early Life and Education

Parkhurst began her professional horsemanship training while living at a livery stable in Worcester, Massachusetts. Although female, she quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest carriage handlers and became known by many drivers as “One-Eyed Charley.”

Wells Fargo hired her when she arrived in California to transport gold-seekers across harsh terrain. Her skilled use of a six-horse rig made her extremely sought-after; often traveling alone on the road she could protect herself against bandits with ease.

She registered to vote more than 50 years before women could cast ballots; and died near Watsonville, California from cancer of the tongue in 1879.

Professional Career

Parkhurst previously served as Policy Director at Clean Aire NC and worked to connect Washington nonprofits through collective action. Now he serves as Toxic-Free Future’s Organizing Manager where he works to equip nonprofits with the resources they need to advocate effectively on behalf of their communities.

He enjoyed fishing, hockey and music in his free time. Shane Parkhurst of Summerville, SC; Reed O. Parkhurst from Cape Canaveral, Florida; as well as grandchildren Thomas Jaxon and Luke Newell are left behind to cherish his memory.

He graduated from Florida State University and Duke Law School, practicing law for over fifty years. As an active mediator he felt it was an effective way of giving back to the community.

Personal Life

Parkhurst was widely considered one of the first transgender men ever, living as one during California Gold Rush and working as stagecoach driver while passing herself off as male. She is also widely acknowledged for becoming first American woman ever to cast ballot in presidential election (despite wearing men’s clothing while doing it).

Kondazian points out examples of individuals such as Parkhurst who defied society’s gender norms by fighting in the Civil War dressed as men or participating in gender swapping movements as prime examples of people who went beyond simply conforming to society.

He was an exuberant soul who always found ways to celebrate life. His zest for living spread joy throughout, impacting all who came in contact with him.

Additionally, Daniel owns and operates an engineering business called eSonic Design Incorporated; its net worth has been estimated between $100,000-1 Million by online estimates.

According to an indictment, he used his funds to purchase large amounts of prescription drugs such as oxycodone and steroids from overseas sources and sell them throughout Central Oregon.
