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.

La monarquía de España. Los orígenes (siglo VIII)

Libro La monarquía de España. Los orígenes (siglo VIII)

En el siglo VIII hunden sus raíces las tres Monarquías históricas –de Castilla, de Aragón y de Navarra– que en el tránsito del Medioevo a la Modernidad confluyeron en la creación de la Monarquía de España, que hoy representa su Majestad D. Felipe VI de Borbón. La monografía trata del surgimiento y desarrollo de poderes políticos, nacidos a lo largo del siglo VIII, desde el Finisterre galaico, al cabo de las Santas Creus. Algún lector se preguntará por qué a estas páginas no les he dado el título de «La Reconquista, los orígenes». La respuesta es sencilla: porque sus...
