    The History of Valentine Camp by Mary Farrell

    History of Valentine Camp Mary M. Farrell Trans-Sierran Archaeological Research P.O. Box 840 Lone Pine, CA 93545 November 7, 2015 Prepared for Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve University of California, Santa Barbara, Natural Reserve System Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory 1016 Mt. Morrison Road Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 Abstract Located in Mammoth Lakes, California, Valentine Camp and the nearby Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory form the Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve, a field research station in the University of California's Natural Reserve System. The University’s tenure at Valentine Camp began over 40 years ago, but the area’s history goes back thousands of years. Before the arrival of Euroamericans in the nineteenth century, the region was home to Paiutes and other Native American tribes. Land just east of Valentine Camp was surveyed under contract with the United States government in 1856, and mineral deposits in the mountains just west of Valentine Camp brought hundreds of miners to the vicinity in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Even as mining in the region waned, grazing increased. The land that became Valentine Camp was patented in 1897 by Thomas Williams, a rancher and capitalist who lived in Owens Valley. It was Williams’s son, also Thomas, who sold the 160 acres to Valentine Camp’s founders. Those founders were very wealthy, very influential men in southern California who could have, and did, vacation wherever they wanted. Anyone familiar with the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes would not be surprised that they chose to spend time at Valentine Camp. Valentine Camp was donated to the University of California Natural Land and Water Reserve System (now the Natural Reserve System) in 1972 to ensure the land’s continued protection.

(March 14, 2018) – Long Beach Transit today announced a partnership with FlixBus to provide affordable bus service to Las Vegas starting March 21. FlixBus, a European-based mobility company, selected Long Beach as one of its hubs for travel to add to its growing network of destinations. “Long Beach impressed us with its diversity, energy and very progressive transit policy. It’s probably the most FlixBus-compatible community in California,” said Pierre Gourdain, Managing Director for FlixBus USA. “We are thrilled to start the route there and looking to add many more connections in the future.” Utilizing LBT’s downtown First Street Transit Gallery between Long Beach Blvd. and Pine Avenue, customers can take FlixBus to Las Vegas by purchasing tickets through the FlixBus app or website. Customers can also buy tickets at LBT’s Transit and Visitor Information Center. FlixBus will also offer service to Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals in April. “Our partnership with FlixBus is another example of LBT connecting communities, both locally and beyond,” said LBT President and CEO, Kenneth McDonald. “Now, LBT customers can catch a bus to the Transit Gallery and then explore destinations outside California.” Most of LBT’s buses connect to the Transit Gallery. In addition, customers can connect to other destinations outside the area through the Los Angeles Metro Blue Line, FlyAway service to Los Angeles International Airport and through connections to Long Beach Airport.

    Interest and the Panamint Shoshone (E.G., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934)

    109 VyI. NOTES ON BOUNDARIES AND CULTURE OF THE PANAMINT SHOSHONE AND OWENS VALLEY PAIUTE * Gordon L. Grosscup Boundary of the Panamint The Panamint Shoshone, also referred to as the Panamint, Koso (Coso) and Shoshone of eastern California, lived in that portion of the Basin and Range Province which extends from the Sierra Nevadas on the west to the Amargosa Desert of eastern Nevada on the east, and from Owens Valley and Fish Lake Valley in the north to an ill- defined boundary in the south shared with Southern Paiute groups. These boundaries will be discussed below. Previous attempts to define the Panamint Shoshone boundary have been made by Kroeber (1925), Steward (1933, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941) and Driver (1937). Others, who have worked with some of the groups which border the Panamint Shoshone, have something to say about the common boundary between the group of their special interest and the Panamint Shoshone (e.g., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934). Kroeber (1925: 589-560) wrote: "The territory of the westernmost member of this group [the Shoshone], our Koso, who form as it were the head of a serpent that curves across the map for 1, 500 miles, is one of the largest of any Californian people. It was also perhaps the most thinly populated, and one of the least defined. If there were boundaries, they are not known. To the west the crest of the Sierra has been assumed as the limit of the Koso toward the Tubatulabal. On the north were the eastern Mono of Owens River.
  • Chapter 8 Manzanar

    Chapter 8 Manzanar

    CHAPTER 8 MANZANAR Introduction The Manzanar Relocation Center, initially referred to as the “Owens Valley Reception Center”, was located at about 36oo44' N latitude and 118 09'W longitude, and at about 3,900 feet elevation in east-central California’s Inyo County (Figure 8.1). Independence lay about six miles north and Lone Pine approximately ten miles south along U.S. highway 395. Los Angeles is about 225 miles to the south and Las Vegas approximately 230 miles to the southeast. The relocation center was named after Manzanar, a turn-of-the-century fruit town at the site that disappeared after the City of Los Angeles purchased its land and water. The Los Angeles Aqueduct lies about a mile to the east. The Works Progress Administration (1939, p. 517-518), on the eve of World War II, described this area as: This section of US 395 penetrates a land of contrasts–cool crests and burning lowlands, fertile agricultural regions and untamed deserts. It is a land where Indians made a last stand against the invading white man, where bandits sought refuge from early vigilante retribution; a land of fortunes–past and present–in gold, silver, tungsten, marble, soda, and borax; and a land esteemed by sportsmen because of scores of lakes and streams abounding with trout and forests alive with game. The highway follows the irregular base of the towering Sierra Nevada, past the highest peak in any of the States–Mount Whitney–at the western approach to Death Valley, the Nation’s lowest, and hottest, area. The following pages address: 1) the physical and human setting in which Manzanar was located; 2) why east central California was selected for a relocation center; 3) the structural layout of Manzanar; 4) the origins of Manzanar’s evacuees; 5) how Manzanar’s evacuees interacted with the physical and human environments of east central California; 6) relocation patterns of Manzanar’s evacuees; 7) the fate of Manzanar after closing; and 8) the impact of Manzanar on east central California some 60 years after closing.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Southern California Climate and Vegetation Over the Past 125,000 Years from Lake Sequences in the San Bernardino Mountains A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Katherine Colby Glover 2016 © Copyright by Katherine Colby Glover 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Southern California Climate and Vegetation Over the Past 125,000 Years from Lake Sequences in the San Bernardino Mountains by Katherine Colby Glover Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Glen Michael MacDonald, Chair Long sediment records from offshore and terrestrial basins in California show a history of vegetation and climatic change since the last interglacial (130,000 years BP). Vegetation sensitive to temperature and hydroclimatic change tended to be basin-specific, though the expansion of shrubs and herbs universally signalled arid conditions, and landscpe conversion to steppe. Multi-proxy analyses were conducted on two cores from the Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains to reconstruct a 125,000-year history for alpine southern California, at the transition between mediterranean alpine forest and Mojave desert. Age control was based upon radiocarbon and luminescence dating. Loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility, grain size, x-ray fluorescence, pollen, biogenic silica, and charcoal analyses showed that the paleoclimate of the San Bernardino Mountains was highly subject to globally pervasive forcing mechanisms that register in northern hemispheric oceans. Primary productivity in Baldwin Lake during most of its ii history showed a strong correlation to historic fluctuations in local summer solar radiation values.
  • The Supernatural World of the Kawaiisu by Maurice Zigmond1

    The Supernatural World of the Kawaiisu by Maurice Zigmond1

    The Supernatural World of the Kawaiisu by Maurice Zigmond1 The most obvious characteristic at the supernatural world of the Kawaiisu is its complexity, which stands in striking contrast to the “simplicity” of the mundane world. Situated on and around the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountains in south - - central California, the tribe is marginal to both the Great Basin and California culture areas and would probably have been susceptible to the opprobrious nineteenth century term, ‘Diggers’ Yet, if its material culture could be described as “primitive,” ideas about the realm of the unseen were intricate and, in a sense, sophisticated. For the Kawaiisu the invisible domain is tilled with identifiable beings and anonymous non-beings, with people who are half spirits, with mythical giant creatures and great sky images, with “men” and “animals” who are localized in association with natural formations, with dreams, visions, omens, and signs. There is a land of the dead known to have been visited by a few living individuals, and a netherworld which is apparently the abode of the spirits of animals - - at least of some animals animals - - and visited by a man seeking a cure. Depending upon one’s definition, there are apparently four types of shamanism - - and a questionable fifth. In recording this maze of supernatural phenomena over a period of years, one ought not be surprised to find the data both inconsistent and contradictory. By their very nature happenings governed by extraterrestrial fortes cannot be portrayed in clear and precise terms. To those involved, however, the situation presents no problem. Since anything may occur in the unseen world which surrounds us, an attempt at logical explanation is irrelevant.

    Chapter 9 Geology Soils and Seismicity

    Chapter 9—Geology, Soils, and Seismicity 9.1 Introduction This chapter describes the existing conditions (environmental and regulatory) and assesses the potential of the 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (proposed MTP/SCS) to affect the regional geology, seismicity, soils, and mineral resources within the MTP/SCS plan area. This chapter evaluates potential impacts to geology, seismicity, soils, and mineral resources that may result from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS. Where necessary and feasible, mitigation measures are identified to reduce these impacts. The information presented in this chapter is based on a review of existing and available information and is regional in scope. Data provided in this section is programmatic. It is appropriate for general policy planning and tiering of subsequent environmental documents; however site-specific evaluations may be necessary to determine future project-level environmental effects and appropriate mitigation. No comments regarding geology, soils, and seismicity were received during circulation of the Notice of Preparation (NOP). Appendix PD-1 includes all NOP comments received. 9.2 Environmental Setting 9.2.1 Geology and Topography This section addresses the geology and topography of the proposed MTP/SCS plan area. Figure 9.1 provides a geologic map of the SACOG region. The proposed MTP/SCS plan area includes El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties, which are located within the Great Valley geomorphic province and the Sierra Nevada geomorphic province. Both geomorphic provinces are discussed below. REGIONAL PHYSIOGRAPHIC SETTING OF THE MTP/SCS PLAN AREA The Great Valley of California, also called the Central Valley of California, is a nearly flat alluvial plain extending from the Tehachapi Mountains at the south to the Klamath Mountains at the north, and from the Sierra Nevada on the east to the Coast Ranges on the west.
