About this title

Synopsis

This work covers San Diego County's only gold rush town, from its beginning in 1869 to the contemporary scene. It also tells the history of the neighboring Cuyamaca Mountain area from prehistoric Indians through the Mexican and early American periods to modern times. Gold was no sooner discovered and mines going when in 1870, the owners of the neighboring Cuyamaca Mexican land grant filed to have the miners removed from their land holdings claiming the mines were actually part of their grant land. This book covers the work that Judge Benjamin Hayes did to save the miners from being swindled off their land. It tells about town fathers, former Georgia farmers Mike Julian and Drew Bailey and their Civil War records. Also the creation and details of construction of San Diego's answer to the Roman Aqueduct, the Cuyamaca Flume. Itcarried water 36 miles, from the mountains to La Mesa and San Diego from 1889 until 1919. The story is also told about those mountain men's fight to wrest the San Diego County seat from the city, and more.
