When and how did wrightwood get it's Name 
John Robinson in "The San Gabriels", 1991 edition, page 292, writes:
"Sumner Wright [businessman, cattle rancher and apple grower in Swarthout Valley] suffered financial hardships, too. To recoup his fortunes, he decided to subdivide his Swarthout Valley property for homesites.....The proposed new community was named "Wrightwood." The sales campaign got underway in 1924.....distributed a brochure extolling the virtues of leisure living "in the Kingdom of the Four Seasons at Wrightwood Mountain, California."
Robinson' s source was a book by Pearl Comfort Fisher entitled "The Mountaineers" published in 1972. He notes that, "This book is a history of the Wrightwood-Big Pines area written by a local historian there."
Now that is a book I would like to find!
