Beskrivelse af The Salton Sea
The Salton Sea: An Account of Harriman's Fight with the Colorado River is a historical book written by George Kennan in 1917. The book chronicles the story of Edward H. Harriman and his efforts to control the Colorado River in order to prevent flooding and create irrigation opportunities in the Imperial Valley of California. The book details the challenges that Harriman faced in his quest, including the construction of dams and canals, as well as the creation of the Salton Sea. The book also explores the ecological impact of these efforts, including the displacement of Native American communities and the destruction of natural habitats. Overall, The Salton Sea is a fascinating account of one man's determination to tame a wild river and the consequences that followed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
