Subdeacon Joe Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 To those of you who say things like "Facebook is a waste of time" I advise you to not scroll down. Another Facebook find: Quote Author Inyo County Sesquicentennial John Walton wrote a book on the Pinkerton Detectives and when he did his program for the Owens Valley Committee Fundraiser a couple of years ago, he spoke about this incident and the hiring of the Pinkerton Detectives. Interesting! He may have dates in his book. Michael Prather This is when the City of Los Angeles used hired security (Pinkertons?) to stop traffic on a Owens Valley public road in violation of the law. It lasted a short time I believe, but a date should be found in William Karhl's 'Water and Power'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Los Angeles and Inyo County have a history dating back over 100 years. Most of LA's water comes from there. Water rights bought up (by whatever means) and brought down to LA. Pretty sad history lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
