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.

Españoles en la memoria habanera

Libro Españoles en la memoria habanera

Españoles en la memoria habanera (España y Cuba en un abrazo), es un homenaje al español anónimo que llegó a Cuba, trabajó duro, hizo o no familia y se aplatanó lo suficiente como para unir sus destinos al del país que lo acogió. Hallará en el libro los nombres de algunos célebres de los que jamás escuchó antes porque la celebridad toda la alcanzaron en Cuba, donde su impronta es parte del recuerdo, la memoria y hasta la historia. ¡Cuánta satisfacción que así sea! Hallará también a otros célebres ya bastante olvidados, quizá aquí más recordados que en su patria natal. Y ...
