Hetch Hetchy Valley description in an uncommon title...
Item # 688616
November 25, 1882
WASHINGTON WORLD AND CITIZEN-SOLDIER, Washington, D.C., Nov. 25, 1882 Although the content is wide-ranging, as the title indicates, a fair amount of the articles relate to the military & government.
Page 7 has an interesting article headed: "A Rival to Yosemite", which tells of another dramatic valley slight to the north of Yosemite: Hetch Hetchy. Many decades later much of this beautiful location would become buried by a reservoir built in the early 20th century to provide the San Fransico Bay region a reliable source of water. This action was in response to the San Francisco Earthquake/Fire of 1906. It is nice to have a nice description prior to the valley being permanently flooded.
Eight pages, browned at the margins, loose pages, somewhat fragile so it must be handled carefully, but otherwise in very nice condition.
