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.

La maldición de Tutankamón

Libro La maldición de Tutankamón

En noviembre de 1922, más de un siglo después de la localización de la primera tumba en el Valle de los Reyes y tras años de estudio, planificación y escrutinio del lugar, Howard Carter protagonizó el que a día de hoy sigue siendo el hallazgo arqueológico más importante de todos los tiempos, el de la tumba de Tutankamón. La relevancia de su descubrimiento estriba en el hecho de que, de las más de sesenta tumbas encontradas, ésta era la única que permanecía intacta.
