The Owens Valley Controversy and A. A. Brierly: The Untold Story - Paperback
by A. A. Brierly (Contribution by), Robert A. Pearce Ph. D. (Author)
This book is about my grandfather's (A.A. Brierly) involvement in Owens Valley land sales to Los Angeles during the early 1900's. He was born in Bishop, CA in 1884 and lived his entire life there. He worked 65 years for Inyo County (1905-1970) and was significantly involved with issues regarding land managment in Inyo County. This book is much different that others written on the subject of Los Angeles and the Owens Valley as this is a first hand account from someone who was there, not revisionist history. I hope you enjoy my book.
