The Seacoast Of Bohemia by Franklin Walker:  An Account of Early Carmel, California

The Seacoast of Bohemia

Walker, Franklin Dickerson

California is a contentious arena for the study of the Native American past. Some critics say genocide characterized the early conduct of Indian affairs in the state; others say humanitarian concerns. Robert F. Heizer, in the former camp, has compiled a damning collection of contemporaneous accounts that will provoke students of California history to look deeply into the state's record of race relations and to question bland generalizations about the adventuresome days of the Gold Rush.

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..."
