Rivers in the Desert

Rivers in the Desert is the quintessential American story. It follows the remarkable career of William Mulholland, the visionary who engineered the rise of Los Angeles as the greatest American city west of the Mississippi. He sought to transform the sparse and barren desert into an inhabitable environment by designing the longest aqueduct in the Western Hemisphere, bringing water from the mountains to support a large city.Davis, Margaret L. is the author of 'Rivers in the Desert' with ISBN 9780060921941 and ISBN 0060921943.
