Title: The San Gabriels: A Historical Guide to America's Newest National Monument
Post by: Wrightwood on Oct 17, 14, 05:10:48 PM

KCET Departures has constructed a narrative of America's 110th National Monument and its eponymous watercourse, The San Gabriel River. We explore its past and profile its present in three chapters, THE SIERRA MADRE, MOUNTAIN FEVER/BUILDING A FOREST, and WILDERNESS FOR ALL, highlighting the historical and cultural impact of the San Gabriels on one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world.
