A third generation Californian, Jerry Camarillo Dun, Jr., was born and raised in Los Angelesâ"a fact that elicits pity (at best) in San Francisco, but for which he makes no apology.

He is the author of numerous books, including National Geographic's Driving Guides to America: California and Nevada and Hawaii; The Smithsonian Guide to Historic America: The Rocky Mountain States; Idiom Savant: Slang as It Is Slung; and National Geographic's My Favorite Place on Earth: Celebrated People Share Their Travel Discoveries.
