Overview of Hetch Hetchy by O'Shaughnessy 1920

Item Details

Description

Heading: (California - Hetch Hetchy)
Author: O'Shaughnessy, M. M.
Title: The Hetch Hetchy Project of the City and County of San Francisco, California: Its Progress, Prospects and Possibilities (wrapper title)
Place Published: San Francisco
Publisher:Issued by the City and County of San Francisco
Date Published: January, 1920
Description:

18, 2 pp. + double-page map with profile of elevations. 23x15.3 cm (9x6"), original printed wrappers.

Concise yet detailed description of the Hetch Hetchy Project "in a Nutshell... for the collection and storage of waters of the Tuolumne River and its tributaries near their sources in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the transmission of those waters across the San Joaquin Valley and through the Coast Range of mountains for delivery to the City of San Francisco and its environs..." The dam was three years away from completion when this booklet was published, and it was not until 1934 that the promised waters were to flow into the city. The project was controversial then, and it remains controversial to this day. OCLC locates eight copies, six of them in California.

Condition

A bit of sunning to the wrappers, very good or better.
