California water wars focus of upcoming 'There it is, take it!' living history presentation
On Thursday, Oct. 12, Valhalla Tahoe presents a Chautauqua performance of the father of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the despot of the Eastern Sierra, William Mulholland.
Local author and historian David Woodruff assumes the character of this infamous personality, who brought a great mountain river 233 miles away so the City of Angels could grow into one of the greatest metropolises of the world, and left a rural agrarian community in ruins.
Corruption, greed, lawlessness and chicanery — its California Water Wars at their most extreme.
The free one-hour program starts at 7:30PM and is at the Grand Hall at Valhalla Tahoe, 3.1 west of the “Y” in South Lake Tahoe, on Highway 89.
