In half an hour we were among the ruins of this ancient city, with all the great buildings in full view, casting prodigious shadows over the plain, and presenting a spectacle which, even after all that we had seen, once more excited in us emotions of wonder. John Lloyd Stephens Incidents of Travel in Yucatán «À 4 heures de l’après-midi, nous partîmes de Pisté et, peu de temps après, nous vîmes au-dessus de la plaine le Castillo de Chichén. Une demi-heure plus tard, nous étions parmi les ruines de cette ancienne cité, avec tous ses grands bâtiments devant nos yeux écarquillés, provoquant de prodigieuses ombres sur la plaine et présentant un spectacle qui, malgré tout ce que nous avions déjà vu, suscitait, encore une fois, l’émerveillement.» Le plaisir de mieux voyager 5 À l’heure du crépuscule, la zone hôtelière de Cancún, cette langue de terre baignée par les eaux turquoise de la mer des Caraïbes et la lagune Nichupté, s’illumine entièrement.

  • The Kite-Shaped Track.”
    City of San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society P.O. Box 875, San Bernardino, CA 92402 LIBRARY NEWS OCTOBER 2011 By Richard D. Thompson, Librarian Following is the second article by Mark Landis, freelance writer for the San Bernardino Sun. As in the case of last month’s story, this feature has pictures he submitted to the Sun that did not make it into the newspaper. “No Scene Twice Seen” On The Santa Fe Railroad’s Splendid “Kite-Shaped Track” Excursion By Mark Landis, Correspondent N the days of the great westward migration of the late 1800’s, California was promoted with splendid images and accounts that frequently exaggerated the truth. Southern California’s mild climate and diverse landscapes were regularly touted as a virtual paradise by land developers, business promoters, and especially the railroads. The railroads were the main beneficiary of the westward movement since they owned huge tracts of land and provided transportation for the migrants and their new products. In 1892, the Santa Fe Railroad began promoting the real beauty and diversity of Southern California with a special tourist route they called “The Kite-Shaped Track.” From the collection of Lee Gustafson Relief map from a Santa Fe brochure showing the route of the Kite-Shaped Track 84 The “Kite” name comes from a figure-eight style horse racing track that was popular during the era. A map of the Kite Track route looks something like an elongated figure-eight, lying horizontally. The small end of the “eight” was at the eastern end of the route known as “the Loop.” The station at San Bernardino was at the crossing of the figure eight and was the beginning and end of “the Loop.” Originally called “The Belt Line,” the Southern California Railway (owned by the Santa Fe) began operating the 166-mile tourist route in January of 1892.

    Division 20 Portal Widening/Turnback Facility Project Draft EIR 3.3 Cultural Resources 3.3. CULTURAL RESOURCES This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources present within the Project Site, evaluates the potential project-related impacts on those resources, and provides mitigation measures, as applicable. The information provided herein is based on the results and recommendations contained in Appendix C Historic Resources Technical Memoranda, which includes the Historic Resources Technical Memorandum (C.1), Archaeological Resources Technical Memorandum (C.2), and Paleontological Resources Technical Memorandum (C.3). These appendix files include extensive sourcing and referencing of information used in this section. 3.3.1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Cultural and paleontological resources fall within the jurisdiction of several levels of government. The State and local jurisdictions provide the framework for the identification, documentation, and protection of such resources. CEQA, Section 5024 of the PRC, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance (Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 22.130), Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, and Section 5097.9 of the PRC are the primary laws that govern and affect the preservation of cultural resources of national, State, regional, and local significance.

Some books and songs were released a year or two later than 1907, when the novel takes place. For example, the book e Circular Staircase and the song Harvest Moon were not published until 1908. Emma Summers and the Boyle Heights Rape Fiend were real people, but the details of their lives have been changed for the sake of this story. e character of Anna Blanc bears some resemblance to Fanny Bixby, one of California’s richest young women, who became a police matron in Long Beach in 1907.
