The Family
By then, Charles was going by the name Charles Willis Manson, which when pronounced slowly sounded like “Charles’ Will is Man’s Son.” His informal “family” consisted of roughly 8 or 9 people. They traveled across the country in a school bus. They removed the seats and replaced them with rugs and pillows, making it feel more like a home. At the end of their trip, they found themselves in San Francisco, CA.
