City-makers;: The story of Southern California's first boom, 1868-76,

Trans-Anglo Books [1974?]

Concentrated in time (1868-87), circumscribed in locale, this tells of that decade of the seventies when the ""city makers"", by erecting a railroad center, transformed Los Angeles from an adobe pueblo into a city. From the first influx of farmers and immigrants, to the first rails, here were beginnings of the land boom which was paralleled only by the speculations in silver, as camps opened up, its traffic a source of considerable struggle. And with the expansion of rails, the bonanza of the mines, came the concomitants of lawlessness and violence, as vigilante and robber and bandido had their way.

The Water Seekers

From the dust jacket - "In most of the arid country of America, development has been limited by water supply. But Southern California has refused to recognize such limits. It is, therefore, in Southern California that the West's fundamental water problem has rankled deepest and has driven cities and farm communities to the furthest extremities.THE WATER SEEKERS tells the dramatic story of Southern California's search for water to fuel her cities' growth.This search raises issues of primary importance today [in 1974, even more important in 2013 and beyond]: diversion of rivers, construction of dams and aqueducts, the population growth mentality, and political strife between California and neighboring states over water usage.Divided into two major sections, THE WATER SEEKERS deals first with the diversion of Owens River water to Los Angeles by way of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, and secondly with diversion and use of Colorado River waters. A final chapter brings the story up to the present day [1974] with a discussion of the Feather River project of the 1960s..."
