Indio

Descripción del libro

Located halfway between Los Angeles and Yuma, Arizona, Indio came into being as a railroad town in 1876 when the Southern Pacific Railroad completed this last link in its southern transcontinental route. Settling this arid land took ingenuity and courage, and Indio's early residents had both. In the 1930s, Indio became a mining town when 92 miles of tunnel were dug through its eastern mountains for the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the largest construction project in the United States during the Depression. World War II brought Gen. George Patton's Desert Tank Corps to train nearby and crowd into Indio for rest and relaxation. The completion of the Coachella Branch of the All-American Canal brought Colorado River water to the desert in the late 1940s, and a land boom ensued. Today Indio's reputation as the "Date Capital of the United States" and "City of Festivals" is long held and well deserved.

(Web Comentarios de libros) ?La información que recupera y expone está muy contrastada y en la bibliografía puedes contemplar que realmente ha hecho una buena investigación del tema en todos los ámbitos que trata el libro.?

Alonso de Cardona, el autor de la Questión de amor

Ya han pasado cuatro anos desde la publicacion de mis libros, en el cual anunciaba que la obra Question de amor podria haber sido escrita por Juan del Encina. Entre tanto parece ser que los metodos estilisticos confirman lo contrario. Las investigaciones de Gregory Peter Andrachuk, un profesor de la Universidad de Victoria en Canada rompieron completamente mis ilusiones y esquemas. Gregory Peter Andrachuk observo importantes semejanzas tematicas entre la poesia de Cardona y la del poeta de la Question de amor, teniendo en cuenta la voz de Vasquiran. Este profesor escribio muchos articulos...
