The Story of Big Creek

Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Nature never intended Southern California to be anything but desert, so they said. But settlers turned it into farms, factories and living areas for millions of people. The key to that development was 300 miles north, in the High Sierra, where the company that became the Southern California Edison Company undertook the creation of one of the great water power developments in the world. They called it Big Creek. Completed in 1929, this work of engineering art involved six dams, eight tunnels (one 13 miles long), three major artificial lakes and five powerhouses—all created to ensure electric power for a rapidly growing Los Angeles and suburbs. Author David H. Redinger was Resident Engineer for the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, one of the most extensive in the world. In this fascinating book, he recounts the obstacles encountered in building a railroad in the High Sierra, from carving roads and tunnels through rough terrain, to enduring snowstorms at high altitudes, and generally accomplishing near-miracles with brainpower, mulepower, steampower, and manpower.

Book Description
First published in 1956, this is a history of California’s official state gold rush ghost town, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, and in 1962 became Bodie State Historic Park. The account is written by Ella M. Cain, a native of Bodie, whose father-in-law James S. Cain and family owned much of the land the town is situated upon and had hired caretakers to protect and to maintain the town’s structures following its decline in 1914. “Bodie deserved and sustained its reputation of being the most lawless, the wildest and toughest mining camp the Far West has ever known.”—Ella M. Cain
