Download or read book The Cajon Pass written by Alice Eby Hall and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California bloomed when modern men conquered Cajon Pass. California's two transverse (east to west) mountain ranges, the San Gabriel and San Bernardino, prevented commerce east between two-thirds of Southern California and the rest of the state. Cajon Pass, the low point between the two ranges, was first opened to business by roads that generally followed old Native American trails. When railroads pierced the divide in 1885, Northern and Southern California and states to the east benefitted. Utility trunks followed: first electrical power in about 1912, followed by telephone, and finally natural-gas pipelines. Courageous, tireless, independent pioneers settled Cajon Pass while looking for gold, mining lime, and nursing water from the ground to satisfy needs of livestock and crops. Even today, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads run their busiest freight transport tracks through Cajon Pass, and Highway 15 competes successfully with its more western counterpart, Highway 5, for record numbers of vehicles per day moving north and south through California.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like old photos and rich, documented Route 66 history including many of the people, places and things of that era: THIS IS IT!Camp Cajon, built next to a stream on historic ground in Cajon Pass, Gateway to Southern California, 65 miles east of Los Angeles and about 20 miles northwest of San Bernardino was a dream come true.Built in 1919 by William Marion Bristol on the site of the ancient Indian village at the junction of the Spanish and Salt Lake Trails, with Route 66 going right through the middle of it, Camp Cajon became the most famous and talked about rest stop, auto camp and picnic area anywhere along Route 66.It lies buried and almost forgotten today under the modern Interstate 15 northbound, truck scales and McDonalds. William Marion Bristol traveled the local mountains in the mid-1880s by burro and later wrote stories of his travels, the habitat, hunters, miners, hermits and others he met along the trail. Without these written accounts, their names would have been forgotten.All this and more in this first in a series of books, Trails and Tales of the Cajon Pass by John and Sandy Hockaday.Desert historian Clifford Walker, Archaeologist Joan Oxendine, BLM, Desert Region, Nick Cataldo, San Bernardino Historical Society, and others who read the first edition, all agree, "It's a fascinating description of life in the first half of the last century".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only complete guide to the historical landmarks of California, this standard work has now been thoroughly revised and updated. The edition is enriched by some 200 photographs, most of which were taken by the reviser and all of which are new to this edition. Since the last revision in 1990, enormous changes have taken place within the state: many landscapes and buildings have been greatly altered and some are no longer in existence. Every effort has been made, through personal observation, to record the present condition of the landmarks and to provide clear and accurate descriptions of their locations. The text is written with the idea that the reader might use the book while traveling around the state, and thus mileage and signposts have been given where it was thought helpful. For this new edition, the reviser has added additional information on the state's geography, the presence of Native Americans, and state and local museums. To provide historical background, the reviser has written a short historical overview. The chapters of the book are organized by county, in alphabetical order. A rough chronology is followed for each county, beginning with pertinent facts on geography, continuing with Native American life, the coming of the Spaniards and other Europeans, the American conquest of the 1840s, and, in those areas where it had a major impact, the gold rush. The text then continues into the period of intensive agricultural development, railroads, industrialization, the growth of cities, the effects of World War II, and on into more recent times. The bibliography, like the text, has been updated to 2001 and includes some of the established classics in California history as well as more recent material. Reviews of the Fourth Edition "Prodigious in detail and scope, this is the definitive guide to historical landmarks in California and a valuable resource not only for travelers but also for anyone interested in California history." —California Highways "This is an outstanding and accessible piece of scholarship, one that every student of California will value." —San Francisco Chronicle "Kyle and Stanford University Press are to be lauded for this monumental undertaking." —Southern California Quarterly
