Mulholland, a self-taught engineer, was the chief architect of the Owens Valley Aqueduct-a project ranking in magnitude and daring with the Panama Canal-that brought water to semi-arid Los Angeles from the lush Owens Valley. The story of Los Angeles's quest for water is both famous and notorious: it has been the subject of the classic yet historically distorted movie Chinatown, as well as many other accounts. .
Reseñas
El Jan 6 2012, RobtYoha dijo:
If you have an interest in development of water for the City of Los Angeles and the Owens Valley controversy -- this book is a must read. This book is an essential companion to "The Water Seekers” it is not an emotion filled expose' of water in California such as "Cadillac Desert." I always wanted to know more about William Mulholland and the early years of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. William Mulholland’s daughter provides insights into the people and the history surrounding this era, which no other author could. I now have a much greater appreciation for the man that created the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
