The Battle over Hetch Hetchy: America's Most Controversial Dam and the Birth of Modern Environmentalism New edition
Righter, Robert W. (Research Professor of History, Research Professor of History, Southern Methodist University)
In the wake of the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, the city of San Francisco desperately needed reliable supplies of water and electricity. Its mayor, James Phelan, pressed for the damming of the Tuolumne River, setting off a firestorm of protest. This work tells the epic story of the first major environmental battle of the 20th century.
