Cerro Gordo

Resumen del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Castilla en España

Libro Castilla en España

Un grupo importante de historiadores de la Universidad de Salamanca presenta en este libro un avance, una mejora, del proyecto que empezaron en 2005 con ¿Alma de España? Castilla en las interpretaciones del pasado español. Los editores confiesan que su motivación sigue siendo la misma que en ese entonces: «investigar sobre las relaciones que la historiografía contemporánea ha establecido entre Castilla y España». La diferencia radica en que ahora profundizan más en la historia de Castilla y León durante el siglo XX y analizan miradas de otras regiones de España sobre ella que no...
