Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis 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.

Almansa

Libro Almansa

En el verano de 1706, lo impensable se había tornado en realidad. Madrid estaba ocupada por las tropas del archiduque Carlos, proclamado ya como Carlos III. Mientras tanto, Felipe V, de campamento en campamento, esperaba los refuerzos provenientes de Francia, y rogaban fidelidad a los reinos de Andalucía. La Corona de Aragón se había perdido, y la situación en la Corona de Castilla era muy delicada. La guerra parecía haber alcanzado un punto de no retorno. Un año después, la situación no podía ser más diferente: en el verano de 1707 las tropas borbónicas avanzaban sobre Lérida...
