Seller's Description:
Very Good in Fine jacket. Size: 6x1x9; The building of the O'Shaughnessy Dam and Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in the middle of Yosemite National Parkâ€"despite the availability of less expensive, less technically challenging, and less politically complicated possibilities-set off a defining controversy in American environmentalism. From the early 1900s to 1913 Americans argued about proposals to dam the Tuolumne River and transform the extraordinary Hetch Hetchy Valley into a giant source of water and hydroelectric power for the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a story of intrigue replete with political scandals and suspect tactics played out in the corridors of Congress, in San Francisco's City Hall and its corporate boardrooms, and in the national media. The colorful cast of characters includes Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and John Muir, as well as a host of political bosses, West Coast boosters, East Coast patricians and publishers, big-business interests, newly formed environmental groups, and the American public.
